After a sloppy win against the rebuilding Chicago Bulls on Saturday, the San Antonio Spurs return home to face a team on the other end of the Eastern Conference’s spectrum: the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors have become a somewhat forgotten contender in the East thanks to the recent rise of the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards, but they are still a dark horse candidate if things go right.
They still have the dynamic guard duo of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, and forward Serge Ibaka has been a thorn in the Spurs’ side ever since he entered the league.
