The Toronto Raptors turned it on in the 2nd half to pull away from the Orlando Magic for a 120-96 road win at the Amway Center, their 2nd straight in that arena in as many days, for their 6th consecutive victory.

Amen Thompson scored a career high 28 points to lead a balanced free-flowing offense featuring seven Raptors scoring in double-figures, which has become their team identity.

The Raptors defense only allowed 31 points in the 2nd half, turning things up a notch to secure the win, in their 1st game of a back-to-back.

Toronto’s record now reaches 26-9, tops in the Atlantic, 2nd in the Eastern Conference.

A few people have asked so I want to make sure that everyone is aware...the 1/15 trade restriction is lifted on 1/15 of the sim season, not the actual calendar. If I am able to sim each night this week, we will get to 1/15 on Thursday, not Wednesday. Teams can begin submitting any 1/15 roster moves as soon as the 1/14 games have been posted.
All-Time Draft

PG- Oscar Robertson/Bob Cousy
SG- Earl Monroe/James Harden/Dana Barros
SF- Billy Cunningham/Michael Finley/Chet Walker

I won't complain too much they are manageable injuries for about a week, when you can always have it worse. Thats why I always try to prioritize depth. Next man up!
