The Toronto Raptors have tumbled recently. With point guard Kyle Lowry mired in a dreadful shooting slump, the team hasn’t been able to win close games. As a result, they have just one victory in their past four outings. Tonight, the Raps commence a tough four-game road swing in LA-LA-Land against the Clippers. The forecast would be brighter if Toronto was facing a poor team – but they aren’t.
The Clippers have been Los Angeles’ “other” team for approximately forever, but might be able to shake that status this season.
As you can see, they are neck and neck with the other guys, and I think they will leave them behind.
