Raptors point guards do not score but get lots of dimes

Behind the combination of Jose Calderon and Kyle Lowery who only took 3 total shots did have 22 of the Raptors 34 season high assists on 41 field goals and they only had two turnovers in the game. Jose had 13 assists and no turnovers while Lowery had 9 assists and only 2 assists in the game and Ed Davis was the player that benefit with 10 first quarter and 9 more in the third while quietly collecting 7 boards after none in the first quarter. The Raptors lead 10-0 just 94 seconds into the game and rolled post to post in a 102-79 victory to even up the season series after getting Portland feeding the Raps their lunch on December 10TH. Terrence Ross lead the Raps with 26 points including a fade away three at the buzzer @ the half which was one of his 5 first half three and he ended up hitting 6 on 9 from beyond the arc and went 4 of 6 from the line. GM Brian may have to eat his words when he said earlier this season in the darker days that he wished the Raps had a few more games at the end of the season and before Lowery came back into the lineup Brian may of been most disappointed for a team that had won 5 in a row without his first draft pick with the Raptors (Bargnani) and the high priced trade player (Lowery) both out of the lineup. Amar Johnson had 17 points with 7 boards and added 4 assists and DeMar DeRozan had 24 points as four Raptors had at least 17 points while Landry Fields had 7 boards to be tied with Davis and Amar as the Raptors and the Trailblazers both had 36 boards in the game. Damian Lillard the rookie point guard of the Trailblazers had 18 points and 7 assists to go with 5 boards and LaMarcus Aldridge who was picked right behind Andrea Bargnani in the 2007 draft put up a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards. On a sad note the Raptors lost one of their biggest fans Raptorized John who would phone the fan and talk Raptors and in other seasons he would talk other sports and truly missed Tom Mehegan
