The Raptors sure don't make it easy on themselves, do they? Once again, after a magnificent win over an awesome team, Toronto struggled to handle a sub-par opponent; except this time, they managed to eke out the win.
In many ways, this was a typical Raptors game. Milwaukee rolled to an all-too-familiar 13-4 lead in the game's opening minutes, exploiting the struggling Raptors starters to the point that Dwane Casey made an early move to bring in Cory Joseph and Patrick Patterson before five minutes had wound off the clock. As has become a common occurrence this season, Joseph sparked the team.
