The Toronto Raptors hosted the number two team in the West tonight in a (yet again) empty Scotiabank Arena as they continue creep closer to that number six spot in the Eastern standings. After a six-game winning streak, the Raptors finally faced a fully healthy team for the first time since going on this incredible run — so were they up to the challenge of stretching the streak to seven?
Unfortunately the Raptors themselves couldn’t face the Suns fully healthy, with both Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. out due to injury for this matchup. Going into the game, the main question was who would step up and score vital points that would usually go to Scottie or Trent Jr.
