This is a totally different team on defense when they don't have one of their slow bigs on the court and can just switch everyone. The defense was really amped up last night in the second half, and once they started forcing turnovers, they started to look like the great Raptors teams of recent years.
I really like the chemistry that Boucher and Siakam show on offense. It's obvious that Siakam's looking to pass and be more of a facilitator, but Len and Baynes having hands of stone. Siakam needs a big that can catch and go up quickly. I think Siakam had at least three assists to Boucher last night.
