Just two days after their win in Boston, the Clippers made the trip north of the border to spend New Year’s Eve in Toronto. It might not be the most desirable way to spend the end of the year, and unfortunately, the 116-108 loss did not help make it any better.
The Raptors have a special bond with the Clippers, highlighted in the pre-game video tribute to Serge Ibaka, who has made a remarkable impact on Canada’s most populous city. Despite the warm welcome, the starters entered the game cold and quickly fell into a double-digit deficit.
