It took a little while, but the Toronto Raptors finally got some momentum. Their first winning streak of the season is now at three games. More importantly, the Raptors actually put a team away convincingly in the fourth quarter, leading to garbage time minutes for the third unit during Monday’s blowout of the Dallas Mavericks. Remember the third unit?
That game was also the Raptors’ first win this season against a 2020 playoff team — yes, the Mavs were missing a few rotation players, but Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis were both on the court.
