The Toronto Raptors are on roll. A 6-game win streak is pleasant; winning 5 of those 6 by hefty margins brings big smiles. A degree of smugness might also accompany such results, but I don’t think Raptors coach Dwane Casey will tolerate that attitude, either in his charges or himself.
I like a bunch of things the Raptors have incorporated into their style of play, and believe Casey is showing an open mind.
More options than ever
ITEM: Pascal Siakam told two long jump shots off set plays against the Lakers. One was a long two (Pascal, be more careful with your footwork in future – that should have been a trey) and the other was a corner-3 that spilled out.
