Consider the high moment of this past week for a second, and let it marinate for a bit. Down five players on the injury report, with two guys already fouled out and a ridiculous officiating margin overall, and on the road in one of the most menacing gyms in the NBA — the Raptors beat the Celtics. By 16 points, no less! They barely ever trailed!
I’m choosing to put that win ahead of the three losses that surrounded it, but I’m probably more of an optimist (and less neutral) than the Power Ranking gods above me.
