The last time the Raptors played the Kings they were 11-1 and sat high atop the rest of the league. A couple months later, Toronto is now 35-13 and still largely on top of the league — with the Bucks, Warriors, and Nuggets all in the mix for the absolute number one spot.
And the Kings? Well, they’re hanging around! At 24-23, these are not quite the Kings of yesteryear. For comparison’s sake, last season’s version had 27 wins... for the year. This Kings team has some juice to them, is my point.
