Raptors Coverage: Feb 22, @ Charlotte

Game 57 - @ Charlotte (L 114-101 / 15-42 / streak L2) Tuesday February 22, 2011
Watched whole game
This is a game the Raps should be able to win, but always seem to get out-gritted by the Bobcats. Sandwiched between the All-Star festivities of the weekend and the impending trade deadline and Carmelo trade to New York, this game was an afterthought in the NBA season picture. Raptors were able to cut it to eleven late but that wasn’t very exciting. The Raps gave up a 50% shooting night to the Bobcats and allowed them to reach the free-throw line twice as much as they got there. Many turnovers in the first half, but not the fault of José, who has 57 assists and only 5 turnovers over a stretch that covers the last few games, yet has struggled to score or shoot a high percentage. Sonny had 19 points, Bargs had 18 and 8 rebounds, Calderon had 6 and 11 assists, while Bayless had 11 and 10 assists, DeMar had a solid 14 points. Of note, the Raptors also picked up James Johnson prior to the game from Chicago and he should play tomorrow against the…Bulls (who will also welcome back Joachim Noah).
