The Toronto Raptors did their best Jekyll and Hyde impression this week with big performances in key games and a not so big performance against an easier opponent.
At their best, they took down a division rival with such ease, that it had many questioning whether the Boston Celtics belong in the “Best in the East” conversation. The Celtics, who have been in a nose dive for much of the season, could not match the intensity the Raptors played with and dropped their third in a row, and fifth in seven.
The Raptors also looked strong against a streaking Portland Trailblazers squad who came into the game winners of five in a row.
