    A two game-winning streak, on the road no less, one would think would have Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell doing cartwheels.</p>

    Instead, Mitchell is keeping his praise to a minimum while cautioning what happened the last time the Raps were on a two-game winning streak and had just thoroughly dominated one of their Eastern Conference rivals.</p>

    "Just some things we have to build on," Mitchell said immediately following the Raps' 101-71 romp over the hapless Chicago Bulls. "The team played hard. We played like this against New Jersey and then we came back and didn't play well against Milwaukee. We've got a couple of days to practice and get our feet back on the ground and continue to try and get better."</p>

    Maybe Mitchell was thinking about those 13 first-half turnovers his team committed that were completely masked by a dominant second half.</p>

    Or maybe he was taking into account the effort, or total lack thereof, the opponent had put up. It was eerily similar to New Jersey's complete indifference in the Raps second game of the season when the Nets managed a measly 69 points in the first real beat-down of the season.</div></p>
