Game Notes
- The Raptors took the first game against an undermanned Grizzlies team at home. With the Grizzlies at full strength for this game, the Toronto Raptors can expect a tougher challenge.
- Tony Allen is an incredible defender on the wing. DeRozan was able to score 21 points in the previous game against the Grizzlies without Allen checking him, but he won't have that luxury tonight. He will have to bring his A-game against a tough SOB and look to be more of a facilitator if the shot isn't there for him.
- Greivis Vasquez started in place of Terrence Ross against Milwaukee on Monday. Vasquez had a decent effort as a starter, scoring 10 points on 4-10 shooting. Ross had a strong showing as a spark off the bench, making some clutch baskets near the end of the 4th quarter to seal the win for the Raptors. Does Dwane Casey reinsert Ross into the starting lineup or not?
- In order for the Raptors to steal a win from one of the top teams in the NBA they need maximum effort and smart play from EVERYONE, including the coaching staff and towel girl.
LET'S GO RAPTORS!!!
