Thoughts On the Game: Nuggets 113, Raptors 110 | RaptorBlog
Turnovers and rebounding issues left Toronto in a serious hole heading into the fourth quarter. They trailed by 17, with 6 minutes to go and should be commended for clawing their way back into this game. Intensity on defence and aggressiveness on offence, brought the deficit down to one. An admirable effort, in a very difficult place to win on the road.
