The Raptors ended this long, aggravating, exhausting 6-game road-trip with a 109-100 win against the Utah Jazz. They finish a so-so road trip 3-3 after a game that was close throughout.
On the heels of that thorough beatdown at the hands of the Denver Nuggets, the Raptors showed much greater attention to detail on the defensive side of the court to start the game. While the Nuggets game was obviously just a freak occurrence, this was an important game for the Raps to prevent things from snowballing.
The Raptors actually had a 53-48 lead late in the first half before a late flurry by the Jazz gave Utah a one-point lead at the break.
