Game 55 – LA Clippers (W 98-93 / 15-40 / streak W1) Sunday February 13, 2011
Watched whole game
Hello! Welcome back to the ACC! I wondered all year how a team with Blake, Eric Gordon and Baron Davis could have such a poor record, now I know. They were outplayed and outhustled by the Raptors. Coming off losing to the Cavaliers (to snap their 26-game losing streak), the Clippers fail to shoot above 45% and Blake is stuck on the bench with early fouls. Toronto moved the ball well and got out and ran the fast break, which allowed them to play the game at a pace they excel at. Ed Davis looked supreme with his second straight double-double (13 and 14 rebounds), and played active defense. Everything was dropping for the Raps especially Bargnani and Barbosa, whose undependable shots frequently ended up through the mesh. Calderon really set up the offense and dictated the tempo of the game and DeRozan had 17 once again. This looked like a game the Raps would win all along, it just felt right tonight and the crowd felt it too. Blake got his highlights in and the Raps got their 4th win of the New Year, so a good, entertaining game for Raptors fans. Next game will be hosting the Miami Heat with Chris Bosh back in the ACC for the first time since leaving Toronto. The reception will be interesting and I WILL BE THERE!!!
