3. Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors

Wednesday November 16th, 8:00 pm, Air Canada Centre

Again, if you can get tickets to this game, you better go.

But the Warriors’ narrative has been in question – have they truly made the heel turn?

By this time in the season, the preliminary story line around the Dubs will already be generated and if they are slated as villains, no crowd boos like a Toronto crowd.

This will also be the Raptors first look up close with the hydra that is the new Warriors. Golden State are the stick every other team is measured against and it will test the Raptors mettle to see how they truly stand up to the elite competition of the NBA.
