The Raptors have run the gauntlet, and they’ve done so admirably despite injuries to Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka. Minus that pair and Patrick McCaw, Toronto managed a 3-2 road trip out west. What’s more, depth the Raptors seemed to lack emerged throughout, and it showed up again tonight, as the Raptors’ reserves were outstanding against the Dallas Mavericks. Still, the strain the injuries and travel put on Pascal Siakam and Toronto’s starters showed tonight, as a second half collapse resulted in a 110-102 loss to the Mavs.
The game started well for the Raptors, as they quickly jumped out to a 10-3 lead.
