Five thoughts on last night: Raptors 101, Jazz 92
Russell Isabella-USA TODAY SportsIf you looked at last night’s game on the schedule, with no other context, you’d say it was a schedule loss. In the altitude at Utah, on the second night of a back-to-back, the last game of a five-game road trip? Take the L and blame the schedule.
Then the Raptors ruled out Fred VanVleet and Marc Gasol. And then Norman Powell got hurt 95 seconds after the opening tip.
The Raptors had no business beating the Utah Jazz last night. And then they did.
Just... why.
Why do we get to celebrate Norman Powell winning Eastern Conference Player of the Week for a total of five hours before he gets hurt?
