I have to admit, for the first time in a while I was pretty excited to watch the game last night! I was curious to see how the new-look Toronto Raptors would fare together, and the Phoenix Suns seemed to be a potent opponent against whom to test their mettle.
And you know what, the game itself lived up to my expectations! Both teams shot the ball pretty well, the game was close throughout, and even though the Raptors lost, Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood both got extended minutes to start building chemistry with their new teammates.
