Toronto definitely needed the boost provided by their talented bench unit in the razor-thin 107-106 victory. Although the Raptors increased their defensive intensity late in the game, it was clear that the team was missing an offensive edge from their starters. Toronto battled fiercely against Golden State the day before, especially Scottie Barnes with his historic triple-double featuring 25 rebounds that helped Toronto secure the huge overtime victory.
There is nothing better than seeing the team's young guns — many of whom I have recently written about regarding trade rumors and their spot in the pecking order — coming together to contribute as a unit.
