The Toronto Raptors remain one of the most confusing teams in the NBA this season, if not the most puzzling. After starting the season off with playoff expectations, they slumped to a 2-8 beginning before winning five of their last six games. All of their positive momentum has now ebbed away, as the Raptors lost three straight games, punctuated by a rough loss against a struggling Sacramento Kings team last night.
Fred VanVleet can see how the Raptors have been their own worst enemy of late, giving games away and preventing comeback attempts.
