Head Coach and Opponent

B-. This felt like a trap game heading in, and it was. Thankfully, though, some strong play down the stretch in the fourth quarter got the job done, but losing out on the boards was a theme that reared it’s ugly head earlier in the season, and it almost cost the Raptors again. Like we said, though: a win is a win. The Raptors keep pace with the pack.. Head Coach. Toronto Raptors. NICK NURSE

Eastern Conference. NEW YORK KNICKS. B. With a lineup that has, at least, 100 big men, you’d expect the Knicks to rebound well. No, seriously, their ability to attack the glass kept this game close. <a rel=. (12-34)

Next. All-Star selection a step on the road to greatness for Pascal Siakam. dark

It wasn’t a pretty game, but it was a win against a gritty foe. On to San Antonio, right?
