The Toronto Raptors figure you out. That was a mantra from last season, when Toronto trailed in their first three series and came back to win everything. It was partly toughness, partly smarts, partly solidarity, and when Kawhi left, none of that did. What did Fred VanVleet say, reportedly, after Toronto stole Game 3 to avoid an 0-3 hole? Boston effed up.
Well, the Raptors won Game 4 100-93 to tie the series 2-2. Toronto’s three-pointers finally fell, and Boston’s didn’t, and Kyle Lowry is on a mission. The Raptors were recently half a second from a three-game hole, and it’s a series now.
