Tucked away in Canada is the league’s best offense that doesn’t have Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on the roster.
Toronto is scoring 112.3 points per 100 possessions, improving upon last season’s fifth-ranked finish by an additional five points. If you don’t speak basketball nerd, that is very, very good.
The Raptors don’t have the benefit of two former MVPs, nor do they have the ability to lean on a pick-and-roll maestro like James Harden to generate their entire offense. Instead, the Raptors have the next best thing — two potent All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan (who will miss Tuesday’s game with an ankle injury) and Kyle Lowry.
