Clippers vs. Raptors preview

The Clippers have struggled the first half of the season, but they have won their last four games and are 11-2 since starting 6-21. The Clippers are certainly dialing up their best basketball, but they are facing a Raptors team that has been competitive throughout the entire season.

The Raptors are within a game of the number two seed in the Eastern Conference, and they have put together quite an impressive first half of the season. Their second half started with a win in their last game against the Indiana Pacers, where they led by as much as 27 points. While that lead slipped to just four points late, they still managed to pull out a convincing double-digit victory.

It will be an intriguing game on both sides with each team playing good basketball. It will come down to the execution late in the matchup, where the winning team will make the smart basketball plays in the home stretch.
