Anyone else sick of the damn Pacers

?

You’d be forgiven if you were. For the third time in 18 days, the

Raptors will take

on Indiana, this time with the season series win hanging in the balance. You may remember the last time the Pacers were in town — not just because it happened like yesterday, but because it featured one of the Raptors’ most rad wins of the season, wherein Toronto ripped off 11-straight points to snatch victory from the fast-encroaching jaws of defeat. Of all the Ws accrued over their streak of 15-straight, the first of two against Indy was probably the one that most proved the Raptors’ realness. Indiana will be down Victor Oladipo

for this

one, as his back is giving him some trouble. Toronto will still be

without Marc Gasol

and Norman

Powell ,

and as Nick Nurse

said before

the game, it is “very questionable” that Patrick McCaw

will make

his return from an illness, though a decision has not yet been made. With a win tonight the Raps will secure the season-series win over the Pacers, 3-1, not that it’ll matter much for tie-breaking purposes, but a nice notch on the belt nonetheless for a team about which the only pressing questions relate to its performance against the

league’s best.

Enjoy the game!

Raptors wilt under pressure from Bucks, lose 108-97 Toronto had their chances, and even their leads, against the Bucks. But the East’s first place team played like it down the stretch — and got the win.
