TORONTO — Masai Ujiri has done a whole lot of good work in his time leading the front office of the Toronto Raptors. For his next trick, maybe he can talk LeBron James into moving to Los Angeles. It was the second straight season in which the Raptors suffered what felt like a franchise-defining loss at the hands of Cleveland. The secondary arc, the B story, is the broader and deeper question of whether this franchise as constituted will ever be able to rise beyond a good team, or even a very good team, to a great one. It all shaped up for an ideal situation for the Raptors, or as ideal as it gets when facing LeBron.
