Raptors 112, Thunder 96

Ugh, the Raptors seemed to finally get it together but only 70 games too late into the season. It's a little frustrating to watch this happen now when the #8 seed in the East is just 3 games under .500, if they only woke up like 30-40 games ago. The Raps are on a tear with a 3 game winning streak and beating opponenets with a margin of victory of 16.0+ ppg. Chris Bosh and Shawn Marion both had 20-10 games while Bargs had 14 pts and 9 rebounds. Kapono had 15 points off of the bench for the Raps. The Raps, especially Shawn Marion, put out a good defensive effort holding Kevin Durant to 4-13 shooting and Russell Westbrook to 5-11 shooting. Nick Collison led the Thunder with 21 points. The game was out of the Thunder's hands early on as the Raps never looked back.
Key Notes:
- The Raps have been outrebounding teams lately, and outrebounded the Thunder 54-37
- The Raps dropped dimes and had 36 to OKC's 21 and also nailed 48 field goals
- Pops still plagued with the knee, had 0 points and 2 boards
- Roko B. Ware had a career-high 10 assists

- Raps play the Bulls on Sunday
