WOLSTAT: Rookie Raptor Flynn finding game when needed most with Lowry, VanVleet hurting

If any team needed a feel-good, absolute annihilation of a game it was these Toronto Raptors. And the depleted Golden State Warriors delivered. Now, we’ll see if the Raptors can build on it. A lot of that will depend on when Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry are able to return. Lowry’s foot issue could linger for the entire week, or he could possibly play on the weekend. They’ll need him, especially if VanVleet, who has had to exit each of the last two games with ailments (the first one didn’t hold him down long, the second ended his night) misses significant time (Nick Nurse said it didn’t sound like that would be the case).
