Damon Jones!

Raptors 115, Bucks 106

Let's see what happened with the Raps' last night:

Win? Check.  The starters showed up? Check.  Good defense?  Check. Kapono did something?  Check.

What the hell?  It's like 70 games too late but anyhow, the Raps played well for the second game in a row.  Charlie V who normally plays well against his former Raps had a dud of a game, shooting 4-11 with only 8 points.  Again, Raptors' fans got a glimpse of how the Raptors were predicted to play like this season, Bosh/Calderon each had a double double, Bargnani dropped 23, Marion/AP scored double digits and even Kapono, yes, Jason Kapono put together 14 points with a game leading +18.

 

The Raps had control of the game and had a 23 pt lead after three quarters.  But in the fourth, there was a Damon Jones sighting and the Bucks bench made a run getting knocking the deficit down to 7 points but luckily, the Raps didn't blow it.

Key Notes:

  • The Bucks and Raptors were nailing threes, hitting a combined 25 three pointers
  • The difference maker?  Raptors were 35-40 from the line while the Bucks went to the line 9 times (hitting 7 of 9)
  • Charlie Bell had 20 off of the bench for the Bucks
  • Pops sat this one out with a sore knee
  • JAWAI WATCH:  0:34  of playing time and dropped a string of zeros in his stat line (you can see maybe half of his playing time in the picture above)
  • Raps play the OKC Thunder on Friday
