What happened
The week opened with a 128-116 win over Milwaukee, and the fanbase responded like people released from a long sentence: "Brother we survived Johnny Davis cope for this moment I could cry." Toronto's 112-102 answer brought back the old officiating grievances, one fan howling about a call that went uncalled on Bilal. The turn came in Chicago, a 124-120 escape that made it 2-1 and prompted "WE FUCKIN IN THE WIZARDS BED TONIGHT!!" Someone admitted to learning what expecting a win feels like. Dangerous habit.
