WHAT THEY TRIED IN 2017-18 To win a championship: Cleveland waxed too topsy-turvy and Boston wasn’t there yet, Toronto could mix its own impressive acquaintance with the most compelling parts of the club’s emerging bench to do what was needed. Establish DeMar DeRozan as a Raptor without peer, the sort of scorer and trademark that you can rely on to spin for 25 points and the right thing to say (with the series locked up at 2-2). Rush an entire front office’s worth of athletic wings at the man who passed the ball to where it hurt the most: TV’s LeBron James.
