If you had “Carmelo Anthony turns back the clock for four minutes” on your “How Will the Raptors Lose Tonight” bingo card yesterday, well, congratulations I guess?
Just like Sunday night, the Toronto Raptors did all kinds of good things last night, and Pascal Siakam was great, and Chris Boucher was great, and the game was thrilling, and the Raptors had a chance to win… but we didn’t get the outcome we wanted. The Portland Trail Blazers got a throwback performance from ‘Melo — on both ends of the floor! — and squeaked out a 112-111 victory over the now 2-8 Raptors.
