That's why this win is a miracle. You give up 81% shooting in a quarter, and 67% (I think) in a half, and it's pretty spectacular to come away with a win. I don't like this "they fought back hard" narrative. In the 1st half they basically laid down and died. Coming back from the dead is most definitely a miracle.

Looking at big picture, I think we escaped this stretch. vsGrizz, vsSuns, @Atl, @NO, vsOKC I think we would have taken 2-3 record. We are 2-2, and can still win vs OKC.
Nets have made ground, but they have their own 5 games in 7 nights, with tough trips to @Mavs, @NO, @Bobcats. I see 2 losses in that stretch. After OKC, Raptors have 5 winnable games prior to the Heat game."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

3-16 for the great Paul George. Wow has he tanked hard since the new year.
Even if they hold on to HCA, I can't put them as favorites over Miami, their offense is broken and in a horrible funk."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

What a great game by Amir Johnson. The guy is just a warrior. Gotta love the way he plays the game. DeRozan on the other hand was just sensational offensively. He kept this team alive specially in the first half.
Lowry w/ another Kyle Lowry type of game. Vasquez made some big time plays in the 4th. De Colo gave this team some defensive intensity when he came in in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Hansbrough i thought was huge as well. Toughness and rebounding inside. Still have no idea why he didn't play much last night.
Overall this was a great team win. Their defense though specially in the 1st half was alarming.Mamba Mentality
