The temptation was to look at the facts, and chuckle.
     
Toronto came to Utah 8-22, loser of six straight and 10 of its previous 11 games. The injury-depleted Raptors arrived quite short-handed, missing star Vince Carter and fellow starter Antonio Davis, among others. And they were playing their fourth game in five nights, all out West.

Should be a real laugher, huh?
     
Well, Utah's 107-85 victory over Toronto on Monday night was no joke.
