Like pumpkin pie after a turkey dinner, the Toronto Raptors have a less exciting second act coming one night after losing to the Golden State Warriors. Tonight, they’re in Phoenix to take on the 9-23 Suns.
The Suns have lost six of their last seven games, including last night, when they were tossed around 119-98 by the Spurs. They sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, obviously a stark contrast to the hardy team the Raptors just visited. While moral victories are pleasing to some, real victories are pleasing to most — and tonight certainly seems a lot more attainable.
