INDIANAPOLIS — The reward for the Toronto Raptors for getting through a gruelling back-to-back is Christmas at home and rest assured, the organization is looking forward to Wednesday’s matinee against the Boston Celtics. I wish we had more of our regular guys playing in it but we’re gonna go play the game nevertheless. – Toronto hasn’t played on Christmas since 2002 and most of the players have never been in one of those games, including newcomer Hollis-Jefferson. How much of it is luck, how much of it is the type of long, athletic, speedy players the Raptors can send out at shooters? With an early start looming after only a day of rest, I asked Lowry if he had any concerns with how he’d be feeling for the Christmas game: “Ain’t got no choice right now,” Lowry said.
