(41-20). Previous: 4th. Toronto Raptors. 4. team. 81. <p>The Toronto Raptors completely collapsed against a much hungrier Houston Rockets team Sunday night. There’s no way around it. And that’s OK – in the regular season.</p>
<p>As long as this isn’t a habit that the Raptors take into the playoffs, they should be fine with this defeat. The Raptors aren’t in danger of falling to the three seed and probably weren’t going to catch the Cleveland Cavaliers anyway, so it’s OK.</p>
<p>Though, this kind of re-fuels the Raptors’ naysayers – that this team will choke away games when they matter most. And that’s a stigma that the Raptors have been trying to fight off this entire season.</p>
