Warriors expose Raptor weak spot that could make or break hopes when playoffs roll around.
PHOENIX—Even before this Christmas-interrupted grind of a road trip began, Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey was couching expectations.
He knew his team’s defence would be tested by some high-powered offences, and while he had seen some improvement in the first three weeks of December, he warned that things weren’t going to change entirely when the team played out west.
He figured it was still a work in progress, but there had been some reason for optimism and he needed to see that improvement continue.
