Raptors Daily Links: Monday

Raptors survive challenging stretch of early-season schedule: In the end, they hung on for the 91-80 victory - a testament to their mental resolve and just how far they've come over the last couple years but, if they looked like a team that had run out of gas, it's probably because they're a team that had run out of gas. -- TSN.ca

Raptors happy to end road trip with Staples Center sweep: The longest trip of the regular season is in the books, a bumpy ride of leads blown and games lost but a trek made palatable by a strong finish and a sense of accomplishment. It was not perfect for the Raptors but perfection is a dream and, all in all, they travel home feeling good. -- Toronto Star

NBA Raps clip Clippers, finish road trip on high: Anyone who managed to stay with the Raptors/Clippers game for the full 48 minutes saw both the best and the worst of the Raptors. Fortunately for the visitors their best was a little better and a little longer sustained than the host Clippers. And their worst — like an eight-point third quarter — as bad as it was, didn’t come back to bite them. -- Toronto Sun

Raptors need work but strong start impressive considering road grind: So, has the panic subsided now? Is it still time to fire and trade everyone? Or is it impressive that despite some obvious (and not so obvious) flaws, Toronto has won 60% of its first 15 games, including a whopping 11 on the road (two more than any other NBA team)? -- Toronto Sun
