In fact, January 12, the day Hector came home, was the last time the Raptors lost a basketball game. They’ve won close games — by one point over the Indiana Pacers and the Brooklyn Nets — and blowouts, including a 29-point pasting of the Washington Wizards. They’ve won despite Kyle Lowry’s whiplash and Powell’s fractured fourth metacarpal. They’ve won despite losing Kawhi Leonard, their best player and arguably the best player in the world, in the offseason. This Raptors team is not as good as last year’s.
