Friday might have been an enjoyable day off in New York for Raptors coach Nick Nurse.
His team had won a couple of tough road games to begin a three-game trip, there was an off-day scheduled for the players, and the coach might have availed himself of all the Big Apple has to offer for the entire day.

But no.
There was some figuring to do, some decisions to weigh and plans to be made, and a large part of the day would be spent thinking rather than doing whatever it is Nurse does to goof off and escape.
