Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors' 104-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
One — Almost: When the Raptors have been at their best this season, they have toppled all the giants in the East. When they are at their worst, they can lose to anybody as demonstrated in their nine-game slide. But more often than not, the Raptors play an average game with spurts of good effort, and the results are like this one, where they stay even with the Suns for most of the night, fall down by double digits, then climb back into the game only to lose at the end on avoidable and annoying mistakes.
