In each of the last three games, the Raptors have, at times, outclassed their opponents. The Wizards, New Orleans Pelicans and undermanned Atlanta Hawks are not good, but the idea that these Raptors could dominate any team for a prolonged stretch would have been unimaginable in the season’s first two-and-a-half months.
