The Raptors lost to a pretty talented G League team on Wednesday. What’s messed up is that probably doesn’t even come as a surprise.
This loss doesn’t quite rank up with the one against Houston last week on the despair index, considering the franchise-altering implications that one had, deep in the throws of Kyle Lowry trade fever. It wasn’t much better in OKC, though.
Things looked okay, even fun in the first quarter, as Toronto put together a rare string of gorgeous offensive possessions that fueled loud starts from OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. A 19-3 run put the Raptors up 29-15, and it looked as though they just might have the juice to blow out a team that everyone should be blowing out right now.
