The Rap-Up: Moral victories still matter

Can the undermanned Raptors use what they learned from Saturday’s “moral victory” to get actual victories over the visiting Nets and Mavericks?

Do you care about moral victories?

On Saturday, the grossly under-manned Toronto Raptors strolled into Atlanta with almost 50% of the team injured/ill and a not-even-close to 50% chance of winning... and still almost came away victorious.

If you didn’t watch the game and were told they lost by 2 in overtime, you’d likely feel some sort of relief that Toronto almost pulled off the upset. Maybe you’d be further encouraged to know there were season-highs from Scottie Barnes, Malachi Flynn, and Thaddeus Young.
