Defence? Wait, what's that? I havn't heard of it before, and I don't think the Raptors or Nuggets did either yesterday night at the Air Canada Centre! Both teams faught hard, with amazing back and forth action, as Jack Armstrong said during the game: "I'm going to need a neck brace after watching this game" in regards to the fast-paced game.
Very exciting game to watch, as after the first quarter, the score was already 39-33!
Raptors had four players with 20+ points, Bargnani dropped 24, Barbosa came off strong as the back-up point guard to the absense of Jose, with 22 points. Raptors' Sonny Weems, and Linas Kleiza had something to show their former teams, as Sonny dropped 21 points with 7 rebounds as Kleiza lead the way with 26 points and 12 rebounds. Could this possibly be the break-out game that we need from Kleiza? Let's hope so!
Al Harrington led Denver with 31 points, check out the full boxscore here.
Nuggets' coach George Karl surpassed a tremendous milestone in the NBA this night, as he became the seventh coach to reach 1000 wins, congrats to George! Check out his Arena Link with NBA TV here!
Key reason why Toronto lost tonight though was because, the Fanatics weren't there! Fanatics are back on December 15th against the Chicago Bulls.
Hopefully Toronto can end this losing skid tonight, as they face off with Tracy McGrady and the Detroit Pistons.
LETS GO RAPTORS!
