Never have the Raptors gone up and down and up and down quite like this.
Of course in the end the Raptors will find a way to break your heart. You don't need to read a sentence before that one because you already know. All the conditions were set: Raptors in the second round, Raptors at home, Raptors in a Game 1, Raptors taking a lead and looking strong, Raptors playing from behind, pushing, squeezing, finding a way, and then falling short.
If there's a way for the Raptors to get you to believe and then figure out a way to destroy that belief, they'll do it.
