How many times have you watched a movie and and a Dinosaur with no "Klaw" was a threat. Well on Planet Oracle near the Black Hole and B.A.R.T. that's what took place as the Toronto Raptors playing out of the motel on the 2nd leg of a back to back motel swing hits "Dubs" right in the gut and they never recovered.

Behind all five starters in double figures and a team-high 23 points and twelve helpers from Kyle Lowry (playing like he lost his best friend on the squad) the Raptors shut down the party on Warriors Ground by the score of 113-93 and it wasn't that close.

Toronto led 57-41 at the break and Dubs never recovered and if you told me there as a little cause for concern in East Bay talking G.S.W. Hoops yes I believe it. They just don't look the same and they are not having any fun as they shoot 6 for 26 from Palo Alto, California and beyond with three of the top 10 best shooters on the planet on the same team and arguably the two best in Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.

Serge Ibaka dba "Air Congo" continues his stellar play adding 20 points and hauling in a dozen boards for the Dinosaurs. They shot nearly 50% from the field and almost 855 from the free throw stripe.

"Dubs" uncharacteristically shoots under 70% from the charity stripe and under 48% from the field for the game. Kevin Durant had a game-high 30 points on 13 for 22 shooting but that was it for Golden State.

No Kawhi Leonard they didn't need him as the Warriors fall to 19-10 and 10 L's before All-Star Break have not seen that in the last four seasons. Toronto moves to 23-7 and this might vault them into playing even better basketball as confidence is key and they will have that and then some leaving the Bay in the A.M..
