Raptors Rally With a Win!

By: Jonathan Joubran

Wow, what an incredible, fantastic game!!! Can you say amazing or what?! Fanatics were 8 man down, but I truly beleive we were louder than ever, it was phenominal. From the screaming and cheering, to the signs, our unique chants, and our dance moves, the Fanatics are truly the greatest Toronto Raptors fans the Air Canada Centre and Raptors organization has ever witnessed. With our fantastic cheering, The Raptors fed off our fanatic energy, and took the game with a score of 98-92! Phenominal play by forward Linas Kleiza who is really starting to show signs of consistency who played a team high 45 minutes today, grabbing a double double of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Il Mago was on point today, played absoloutley fantastic, getting yet another 30+ game in the point department, 32 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. DeMar DeRozan had a quiet 14 points, but topped it off with a THUNDEROUS slam in the final minute of the game. Jose had a double double with 15 and 14, while Leandro scored 10 points off the bench, including a solifying three pointer in the dieng minute of the game to seal the deal! The full boxscore and highlights is here:
What THEY said:
Brook Lopez: ``Every game I have played against him he has gotten better, he is a fantastic player and is always a great challenge for me. Obviously, he is knock down shooter and he plays very well off that.'' In reference to Andrea


Jay: ``He was huge,'I think early when Andrea wasn't going, he made shots. I know he can shoot the basketball, I think the big thing for us today was his rebounding. He had a real hunger for the ball.'' In reference to Kleiza
 
Raptors are back at it this Sunday against the one and only L.A Lakers, but sadly the Fanatics will not be there, we are back at it Dec. 22 against Pistons!
Great game! Signing off, 'Till next time, and remember...
LETS GO RAPTORS!!
