Demar DeRozan hurt as the Raptors hands Woodson his first lose as Knicks Jead Coach

DeMar DeRozan had 30 points as he was 11 of 17 from the floor and 8 of 9 from the line but his 131 consecutive starts which is a game off of the Raptors record of 132 which has been held by Alvin Williams just before he destroyed his legs and never to play again on a regular bases he been put in jeopardy when he flied and landed on Jose Calderon and got up and hopped to the lock room with 3 minutes left in a 96-79 Raptors victory. DeRozan will at best will be a game time decision tomorrow night against the Bulls in the windy city and that is best case scenario and the Raptors also got a great performance from Andrea Bargnani wgo had 21 points and 7 boards while Jose Calderon did not make any of his 10 shot attempts from the floor and still did have 10 assists in the game.

It was very hard game as the Refs let a lot of contact in the game without a lot of fouls as the Raps had 21 fouls and the Knicks had 20 of them and the Raptors had a 5 minute slump in the second quarter as they had a 31-19 and the Knicks as they went on a 10-2 run but the Raptors took control in the third quarter and outscored the Knicks 17-2 after the Knicks cut the lead to one @ 43-42. They ended up outscoring the Knicks 31-17 in the quarter and put the game away in the fourth with the help of Gary Forbes who was 7 of 7 from the floor in the fourth and had 14 of his 19 points in the final quarter. The Raptors out bodied the Knicks as they were a plus 7 on the boards (46-39) which is a lot better than they did on Tuesday Night at MSG.

The Knicks lost their first game under Mike Woodson who was 5-0 before tonight and is in position for a playoff spot but Carmelo was 6 of 15 from the floor and 12 points and 9 boards while Amar'e Stoudemire was 6 of 12 from the floor and 5 of 11 from the line and ended up with 17 points but only had 6 boards which is like half of his boards he had on Tuesday. Steve Novak hit 5 3-balls in the game and ended up with 15 points and Baron Davis lead the Knicks with 8 assists while Jeremy Lin who added a new Raptors broadcast team that did the game in Mandarin for the first time in Raptors history and he ended the game with 6 points, 4 assists, and 3 turnovers in the game.
