Who among us hasn’t partaken in a lazy Sunday afternoon?
The Raptors did just that in the first half of their 108-93 win over Sacramento. For 24 minutes, Toronto seemed disinterested in playing defense, seemingly hellbent against contesting even one of the Kings’ 42 first half looks; 25 of them went in, including a half court prayer by George Hill at the end of the second frame.
Toronto wasn’t entirely dead in the first half though. The way a Sunday lounger will gladly make elaborate, unhealthy meals while refusing to do the dishes afterwards, the Raptors scored a bunch of points while appearing content with lackadaisical defending; a 63-61 Kings lead was the result.
