Riding six straight wins into Los Angeles to meet a (very) banged up Clippers team, there was reason to hope for the Toronto Raptors on this Monday night. Unfortunately, the streak met its sorry end, as mistakes snowballed and the Raptors played their way into a 96-91 loss.
We’ll start with the lone bright spot for Toronto, as Jonas Valanciunas had his best game of the season (which hopefully won’t be forgotten); he was an absolute beast in a matchup with All-Star centre DeAndre Jordan, with 23 points and 15 rebounds in 28 minutes.
