That was a tough loss to watch last night — maybe one of the toughest losses to watch all year. The Toronto Raptors were up 94-88 on the Los Angeles Clippers last night with 5:30 to go, with the ball. The Clippers looked ragged. The Raptors looked in sync, on a 10-0 run.
But Khem Birch — who’d had an excellent fourth — missed short J. Ivica Zubac made a dunk in traffic the other way, Marcus Morris hit a three and then a short turnaround and the Raptors were on their heels.
Alas, it was an entertaining game and that’s pretty much all we can ask for at this point in this dreadful season.
