The Raptors 905 were back at home late last week to begin an eight-game homestand, and things could not have gotten off to a better start than what we saw this past weekend. The Toronto Raptors assigned Dalano Banton for the games, and he was the main difference in sweeping the visiting Cleveland Charge.
It was much-needed playing time for Banton, who was on Nick Nurse’s seven-man doghouse rotation. Given the positive impact that he had last night against the Portland Trail Blazers, we can claim that the stint was worth it. Isaac Bonga was back for the latter half of their series against the Charge, after missing the previous four games due to an ankle injury.
