The Toronto Raptors had a meltdown in the second half of Game 1 of their playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Losing that match was bad enough; losing Game 2 would be borderline-disaster. What did we (and hopefully coach Dwane Casey) learn from defeat, and how can those lessons help us turn defeat into victory?
Sometimes ya gotta go big
I get cranky with those who believe small-ball solves all problems. There’s no doubt in my mind you can win playing that way, but not all the time against every opponent.
The Raptors pulled down a sad total of 8 offensive rebounds, 2 of which were by Lucas Nogueira in garbage time.
