Orlando playing solid defense, doing a good job packing the paint and closing out on shooters with their long athletes. Raps still getting better looks (until they stopped playing defense late), just can't finish. Hopefully they can calm down a bit at halftime, and Lowry can find Michaels secret stuff.

Needed that
I think they can come out better next quarter, but this is the thing, and I mentioned it earlier...Orlando is a good team, and they do it with effort.... effort is dangerous because effort doesn't go cold, it's relentless. This is the type of match up a Team like Toronto has to be VERY worried about, you go cold shooting, and you will because a guy will be in your grill every time, every shot you will have a little less time.... and that hard working team will capitalize. It's no different than Hockey, you gotta be gritty in the Playoffs, you have to scrap, and fight.

Gotta win with defense. We have the personnel to do that but I think had a little too much "we the heavy favorite" swagger in the 1st half.
gotta work. Hard.
