ATLANTA—The Raptors have some work to do. Even if no major corrective moves are necessary, there are tweaks to be made and some minor things to tighten up before little mistakes become calamitous and things go south in a hurry.
The Raptors are giving up too many offensive rebounds, their ball movement on offence disappears at times, and moments of defensive indifference are creeping into games. Now is the time to fix them.
“It’s always good to regroup, understand the mistake that you made . . . and understanding what we could be better at, what we can clean up,” DeMar DeRozan said Saturday after the Raptors were beaten 115-109 by the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.
