The Raptors can look back to 48 hours ago or so and remember a real disaster of a third quarter. Or they can look back to a few months ago and remember the good times they had with former backup point guard Cory Joseph. They can even go further back and think about some truly dark times. The point here is to maintain perspective and not get carried away with nostalgia or reminiscing. Good and bad come and go in waves.
The Raptors put up a terrible third quarter in New York. That’s it. They lost the game and then they headed to Indiana to see a Pacers team having, well, not such a bad time after all.
