What a week in and around Toronto. The Toronto Raptors are winners of their last six, and we’re starting to see more glimpses of the team’s real potential, including a second-half comeback against Memphis where the defense looked outstanding, holding Conley and Co. to 43 second-half points.
What’s even more outstanding about that game is Fred going perfect from the field, 6-6 for 18 points in 21 minutes, a plus-8 on the night. The only plus net rating for a bench player too. The struggles of the second unit continue.
Earlier in the week, we saw home wins against a porous Washington team void of any team kinship and an equally uninspired Miami team, the Toronto offensive unit racking up 125 points each night.
