Toronto Raptors hit the road after their disastrous 124-109 loss to Milwaukee. First stop L.A. to meet the Clippers. Result- 123-99 win which featured a rejuvenated Kyle Lawry. On to meet league champions Golden State Warriors. Result- 113-93 win. Two blow outs without the injured Kawhi Leonard (sore hip). Lowry came through again draining 23 points with 12 assists. After a zero point game against Milwaukee, both games saw him mixing his shots – driving to the rim and launching 3-pointers as well. Serge Ibaka, who is having a good season so far added 20 points, Danny Green 15, Pascal Siakam 13, Fred VanVleet 10. Jonas Valancuinas will be out for several weeks after receiving an injury to his thumb that required surgery. Raptors have called up Chris Boucher who has been burning up the 905 league. Overall the Raptors seem to be back to getting the job done. Two more road games to go. Raptors still have the best record in the NBA.
Next stop Portland on Friday before meeting Denver on Sunday.
Condolences to Coach Nick Nurse on the passing of his mother. May she Rest In Peace.
