Garbage Time!

Raptors 112, Thunder 96

...when the picture of last night's game includes :

  1. Quincy Douby
  2. Damien Wilkins
  3. Malik Rose
  4. Robert Swift
  5. Jake Voskuhl
Yes, there was garbage time, and yes, we were on the winning end.  There was even a highlight of a Quincy Douby dish to Patrick O'Bryant.  Seriously.
 

Ugh, the Raptors seemed to finally get it together but only 70 games too late into the season.  It's a little frustrating to watch this happen now when the #8 seed in the East is just 3 games under .500, if they only woke up like 30-40 games ago.   The Raps are on a tear with a 3 game winning streak and beating opponenets with a margin of victory of 16.0+ ppg.   Chris Bosh and Shawn Marion both had 20-10 games while Bargs had 14 pts and 9 rebounds.  Kapono had 15 points off of the bench for the Raps.  The Raps, especially Shawn Marion, put out a good defensive effort holding Kevin Durant to 4-13 shooting and Russell Westbrook to 5-11 shooting.  Nick Collison led the Thunder with 21 points.  The game was out of the Thunder's hands early on as the Raps never looked back.

Key Notes:

  • The Raps have been outrebounding teams lately, and outrebounded the Thunder 54-37
  • The Raps dropped dimes and had 36 to OKC's 21 and also nailed 48 field goals
  • Pops still plagued with the knee, had 0 points and 2 boards
  • Roko B. Ware had a career-high 10 assists

  • Raps play the Bulls on Sunday
