This has been unfamiliar territory for the Toronto Raptors since the new year. The Raptors are now losers of two straight after a 120-90 letdown versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Since January, the Raptors have only found themselves on a two-game slide twice. This short losing streak has just highlighted the flaws that the Raptors have been battling all season.
Last game, the Raptors combined for a season-low eight assists, which shouldn’t come as a shocker considering that Gary Trent Jr, OG Anunoby, and Scottie Barnes cumulatively shot 5-30 from the field. No one expects them to be perfect, but the margin for error is slim when there isn’t much scoring to fall back on with the bench.
