Whether you believe in the eye test or analytics, the Toronto Raptors are trending in the right direction.
Despite a woeful record — 2-7 coming into Monday’s game — the Raptors are finally coming together. They’re getting good play out of Pascal Siakam, who is passing better than he ever has in the team’s offensive schemes. They’re getting ample scoring and playmaking from their backcourt. OG Anunoby has given them more predictable production. Chris Boucher has been a revelation.
Yet, even with their play improving, there still hasn’t been enough for the Raptors to win games.
