It was starting to feel like the Raptors were immune to losing basketball games before Friday night, until Dwight Howard turned the clock back ten years with an impressive 27 point, 17 rebound performance in the Hawks 125-121 win over the Raptors. After setting a franchise record for margin of victory in their 128-84 victory against the Hawks earlier this month, the Raptors were quickly reminded that in the NBA, any night is fair game and any team can catch you sleeping.
That being said, the Raps still sit at 18-8 so far on the season and visit an Orlando team tonight, who despite their current identity crisis has shown flashes of competent basketball and sit at 12-16 so far.
