The lifeblood of any functional team in the NBA is the ability to score. The more you score, the more likely you are to win. Outscoring your opponent is the name of the game if you want to win. Last year, the Toronto Raptors outscored their opponents often and, well, they became NBA Champions.
As the saying goes, “defense wins championships”. That’s a very true saying, but if you don’t score, you don’t win. Simple. The Toronto Raptors defense looks to be in prime position to be a top-10 defense in the NBA this year, a common theme in the team’s recent history.
