These games sure are tantalizing, aren’t they? For the third straight game, the Toronto Raptors hung with an opponent with a much better record, giving us some highly entertaining basketball on both sides of the floor. But, once again, they couldn’t hang on to a lead in the fourth quarter. This time, it was the Utah Jazz who put the Raptors away down the stretch.
That’s one of the things that separates good teams from the pack, of course: the ability to put opponents away late when the game comes down to the wire.
