The Raptors have to feel pretty pleased this week. They’ve won three games in a row, each time making stirring comebacks that involved their newest acquisitions Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker. The team’s main stalwart, DeMar DeRozan, is playing great, with 76 points in the past two games. Even Cory Joseph has bounced back lately. (Hmm, what’s gotten into him?)
As expected, the Power Rankings this week reflect the positivity now surrounding the team. The Raptors made moves, improved, and now seem set on climbing back up the Eastern Conference standings.
