It wasn’t supposed to go like that last night, not for the Toronto Raptors. The schedule finally eased off. They had practice time. The lineup was almost back to full strength. They had a nice big story in a U.S. media outlet and had a chance to tie the season series with their closest rival in the standings, on U.S. national TV.
Instead they came out and laid an egg against the Milwaukee Bucks and showed everyone all the damn warts that have been plaguing the team all season long, that have been masked by their impressive win total.
