The Toronto Raptors capped off their long, slow week (one game in seven days!) with a home Sunday afternoon game against the LA Clippers, who had just traveled East to start a long road trip the night before in Detroit. While it could have been a “trap game” for the Raptors, in the end, talent and fresh legs won out.
One of my least favourite things about the NBA is when a player manages to garner a reputation as a strong defender... and that means the officials start letting him get away with a little bit of extra pushing and shoving.
