For a meaningless game, there were some fun moments and encouraging signs.
It's not new for the final home game of the season to be completely void of importance for the Raptors franchise. Such games have typically been the realm of the Omar Cooks and Ben Uzohs of the world, anonymously running down the clock on yet another fruitless season.
This year's home-closing affair took on a different, more optimistic-feeling sort of meaninglessness. Toronto is playoff bound for a third-straight year, entrenched in the second seed with no control over its first-round opponent. As a result, Tuesday's game against the 10-win Sixers provided one of the final opportunities for the Raptors to tinker and toy ahead of the most important set of games this team will have played under the rule of Masai Ujiri and Dwane Casey.
