Last night's win also marks the 30th straight game the Raps have won when leading going into the 4th quarter. Team clearly knows how to close games out.

6-1 after another blowout. That was a great game. Lots of positives to talk about, but the one thing that really stood out to me was Lou Williams' play from the bench. He fits into that second unit perfectly and adds a lot of offensive punch to the team.

Yeah, they looked great - especially Williams. A big guy with some really good moves. Hopefully they play like this going forward.
On a side note, they gotta stop broadcasting Drake after each highlight in the game. It's such an easy thing to do from a broadcasting perspective, but it's lazy and his shtick is getting tiresome. His glasses today alone was enough to get annoyed over.
I am not a Drake fan, but think getting his involvement with the organization as a brilliant basketball and business move. he makes the team "cool" which it desperately needed after the Bosh snub and a couple of miserable seasons with Bargniani busting.
That being said, the team that is astonishing is Phily, because that was an astonishingly bad basketball performance. Had the Raptors kept the defensive intensity up and not let it turn into a summer league game, they could have held them under 70 points.

Exactly. People complaining about drake need to look at things from a business prospective.

Business perspective it was very smart - no argument there. I just don't want a non-player as the identity of the franchise. Especially one with such shytty fashion sense.
Especially not the worst frontrunner in sports. If the Cavs make the NBA Finals, Drake will be there. How much of a frontrunner is he? He swears by Kentucky...yet was celebrating with UConn after the title game last year. He's no Jack Nicholson that's for sure.

Yeah, that felt like last year's team, when they got anything they wanted in the 4th quarter. Valanciunas had a brutal day. Really needs to relax and get back to fundamentals. Credit to Lowry for giving him every possible opportunity to get going.
wow. Stopped following the boxscore (because the radio broadcast was unavailable to my location) when the Raptors were down 9 or so entering the 4th quarter.
Looks like Orlando started missing some shots and Lou Williams made a few, stole the ball, and got the Raptors back in it. Patrick Patterson with some big threes down the stretch, James Johnson with some good play as well (according to the box score play by play). Raptors won by making foul shots in the last minute.
Awesome come back
