Before we discuss tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, let’s take a step back. The Raptors’ record is currently 42-15, good for third-best in the league. The team is on pace to finish the season with the highest win total in franchise history, and most recently pummelled the Indiana Pacers into oblivion. Of course, let’s not forget about the injury-ridden 15-game win streak that put the entire league on notice.
Folks, this Raptors team is good. More than that though, this team is fun, fearless and exhaustingly relentless. After the aforementioned 46-point win over the Pacers on Sunday, Nick Nurse showered Kyle Lowry with deserved praise, proclaiming his admiration for Lowry’s tenacious nature.
