The Raptors have won 20 games this season after falling behind by 10 or more points. If you’ve watched any Raps games this year, it’s not a particularly shocking statistic to learn. With this afternoon’s 110-97 win over the New York Knicks: make it 21 — the Raps were down by 11 early on. It wasn’t pretty for three quarters, but it’s a W, the Raptors’ 50th on the season. And it gives Toronto back-to-back 50-win campaigns for the first time in franchise history.
For most of this one, the Raptors were sleepwalking while DeMar DeRozan cooked.
