Have we mentioned this Raptors team can be extremely fun to watch as a complete unit? I feel like we have. Tonight, against a frustratingly competitive Pacers’ team, Toronto’s gang of ten each had a part to play — in combination, solo, or any which way they could — towards a rollicking 120-115 win. If the Raptors aren’t perfect, it certainly feels like they’re moving in the right direction.
Off the top, there were the steadying performances from Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan. The former made some superlative defensive plays — stopping a driving Darren Collison at the rim, taking a charge from Domantas Sabonis — and provided his usual timely threes to keep the Raptors moving.
