The Toronto Raptors had their first game against the Golden State Warriors last night. Even though they couldn’t pull off the win, there are still some key takeaways from the game.

The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night in their second tough game in a row on their six-game stretch on the road. Even though the outcome may not have been a win, there are some key takeaways from the game.

It is crazy to see how dominant the Warriors have become. Every single team is chasing them right now since they are the defending champs, and here we are dedicating an entire article about how teams put up a good fight. But it is what it is. This is the NBA we live in and even though some hate it, it’s actually really fun.

The Raptors were without Jonas Valanciunas during the game, so they already had their backs against the wall. However, it also gave some of their younger players time to turn some heads. Bearing all this in mind, here’s a look at some of the key takeaways from last night’s game.
