There’s been disappointment and frustration along the way, but the Toronto Raptors continue to dig themselves out of a horrible start to the season.
Winners of five of their last seven games, the Raptors have earned wins against good teams despite key injuries to Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam, including a Sunday afternoon victory over Indiana and a trouncing of Dallas last week. Even after the latest letdown — a 129-114 loss to the Pacers on Monday — taking the last three weeks as a whole has to have you feeling good about the team’s potential, especially in a wide open Eastern Conference where nobody’s taken command.
