No team is ever going to play a perfect half of basketball, because it’s just not physically possible, but once in a while a team can come up with 24 minutes of brilliance and domination that is wonderful to watch.
Kind of like what the Raptors did in the first half Sunday against the Utah Jazz.
Forget that the Jazz made some noise in the third quarter — it was all moot — because in taking a 77-37 halftime lead on the way to a 130-110 victory at Scotiabank Arena, the Raptors played a half for the ages.
