TORONTO — There are probably not that many lessons that can be learned from the Toronto Raptors’ comically ugly 104-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, a game that looked as though it had been played with a basketball that was lightly greased. It was a Raptors turnover on a night when they had nine-bloody-teen of them. With Danny Green resting on Wednesday night, the Raptors deployed their 14th different starting lineup: Leonard, Lowry, Ibaka, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet. They ended up sealing the game on the Leonard steal and Ibaka dunk, because that’s what good teams do. Nurse said on the eve of the season that he didn’t care how many games the Raptors won.
