The NBA is back, and finally, after 48 hours of watching other teams take the court, so are the defending NBA Champions, the Toronto Raptors.
This game has a lot to live up to. Not only are we, as Raptors fans, thirsting for real and meaningful hoops featuring our favourite team, but the Bubble games so far have been pretty great! The Lakers themselves played in one of the best games so far, a back-and-forth affair against the Clippers on Thursday, which came down to one final possession for the Clippers — a possession on which LeBron James defended both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and forced a Clippers miss.
