The Raptors are mystifying the league once again. The Warriors? People understand their greatness easily. Stock a team with three or four of the best, most skilled, most versatile players in the league and let them run amok. The Cavaliers? Put LeBron James on a squad with some smart players and capable shooters and watch the fireworks.
But this Toronto team, a team that now owns the second best offense in the league, running neck-and-neck with those same supernova Warriors, how are they doing it? They’ve got two tremendous talents — Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan — and then, hmmm, a lot of moving parts.
