I don't think that was the smartest move for Raps. 3 guys was standing around and watching Lowry forcing for a shot.
Raptors lose because there was no urgency on their play earlier and at the same time referee was a big factor in this game. 2-3 of Amir Johnson's fouls are so questionable and he was actually the best player for them before he fouled out. Their defense and rebounding was awful. Their young guys looks like they have nerve problems. JV didn't have a good game and T.Ross shot selection was terrible. All Brooklyn has to do is keying in Derozan and Lowry earlier. Give credit to Nets offense as well. Thornton had a huge game for them and Joe Johnson been toying on Raps defense all game.
Anyways, at least Raps made the game exciting at the end. For a team whom a lot of people predicted to be on the lottery draft played well after the Rudy Gay trade.
