A must-win for the Raptors
It was one of the great stories at the beginning of the season. THE Raptors signed an amazing streak of nine consecutive successes, because it was not really expected. Then an overtime loss to the Hornets ended the momentum. Big failure against the Knicksthe next day, he only confirmed this slowdown.
That’s why it was necessary to move forward and quickly, so that the series of nine victories in a row would not turn into just a memory. They dominated for a long time, the Blazers resisted until the end, shook the opponent, but eventually gave way.
“It was a great battle”, summary Darko Rajaković. “We talked about it before the match, we knew who we were going to face and it was a really, really complicated game.
For Toronto, it’s the most important, a week before the most important match of the season, the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup against the Knicks, and before facing the Lakers this Thursday.
“It was a very important win for us, we really needed it”Scotty Barnes confides. “We lost both matches in a row and we felt like we should have won the first one, against Charlotte. But to finish this game and win is positive.”
