The Toronto Raptors began their season-high 6-game road drip with valiant efforts in defeats to the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors.
Toronto proved once again that their fully capable of competing against the league’s heavyweights holding leads in the fourth quarter on both occasions but unable to seal the deal.
Since then, the team rebounded with wins against the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers before an embarrassing performance on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets.
But if there’s a silver lining, it’s that the Raptors can return home with a 5-3 overall record (3-3 on their road trip) with a win over the Utah Jazz and knowing that one of the tougher sections of their entire schedule is done and over with.
