The Raptors certainly haven’t cruised to a 4-1 record this season, but the team has consistently found ways to win. It hasn’t been by big margins, but that doesn’t matter in the end. What does matter is that the Raptors are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference — where they are expected to finish. Of course, early records won’t define a season, but every win counts.
Tonight, the Raptors take on the Sacramento Kings, a team perennially plagued by management, coaching and personnel issues. Basically anything that can go wrong does go wrong in Sacramento, and this year looks to be no different.
