Toronto’s temperatures will dip into the 30s next week, but the Toronto Raptors will gladly welcome a cold snap as long as they get to enjoy it at home.
By any measure, it’s been a long trip for the Raptors, who faced the Jazz on the end of a six-game West Coast road trip. It started Oct. 23 in San Antonio — then Toronto rattled off games against the Warriors, the Lakers, the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets, going 2-3 in that stretch.
The most recent game before facing the Jazz, a 129-111 loss in Denver, was a low point, coach Dwane Casey admitted.
