Amidst the noise of endless Anthony Davis trade rumours, there are the Toronto Raptors, plugging away.
Equally good and disappointing over the last ten games or so, the Raptors are coming off a win over the Clippers at home — always a good feeling this season, given the team from L.A. following Kawhi Leonard around — as they get ready for a three-game road trip.
The trip begins tonight in Philadelphia, amazingly the fourth and final matchup between these two teams this season. The Raptors have a 2-1 series advantage, which isn’t for nothing — considering they’re just three games up in the loss column on their Atlantic Division rivals.
