If the parlance of the NBA these days is “pace and space” it’s likely to be far more plodding tonight when theToronto Raptors host the Utah Jazz at the Air Canada Centre.
It’ll be a matchup of two of the slowest offences in the league — the Jazz is dead worst in the NBA at 93.4 possessions per 48 minutes, the Raptors are fifth worst at 95.5 — which could turn the game into a grind-it-out affair.
“They’re one of the most physical teams there is . . . we have to meet that,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday morning.
