Game Thread: Toronto Raptors @ Sacramento Kings
Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty ImagesLate night West coast Friday night basketball in the middle of the pandemic! Remember when Friday nights were for going out and having a good time? Dinners, drinks, mingling, pubs, clubs, staying out late? Now we’ll be lucky to stay awake until halftime.
The Toronto Raptors can’t afford to sleepwalk through this matchup with the Sacramento Kings, though. The Raptors are 1-6 and although they’ve beaten Sacramento six straight times, this long, athletic Kings team — one of seven Western conference teams with a 4-4 record — while not a real contender, is not the same Kings team of old.
