It’s hard to imagine the past week going any better for the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors played three games since last Monday and won all three in convincing fashion. The Raptors also surpassed the first place Boston Celtics and now sit by themselves atop the standings.
The first game of the week was a home contest against the aforementioned Celtics squad. The Raptors jumped out to an early 21 point first-half lead and never looked back. Boston never came within 15 points after intermission, and the Raptors were able to rest their starters for the entire fourth quarter.
