Paul off to a terrible start with two quick turnovers… and looks as slow as ever.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Suns with 7 turnovers in the first quarter alone.
CP3 with 3 TO’s, no points and a -6 for the quarter… Ugh… man he looks bad.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Make that 8 TO’s in the first! And another 30+ point first quarter for the opposition.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Now 10 TO’s at the start of the second… but thankfully, Toronto’s shooting is off thus far!

 

[82CardsGrad]

14 TO’s midway thru the 2nd!!

 

[82CardsGrad]

With a little over 4 mins left in the second, Bridges: 13 mins, 0 pts, 0 Rebs and a -14 +/-!

With a little over 4 mins left in the second, Bridges: 13 mins, 0 pts, 0 Rebs and a -14 +/-!

Bridges has been mostly invisible. One has to look for him on the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mikal gets his first points of the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's amazing the Suns are tied with the Raptors at 51.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Raptors 53 - Suns 51

 

[Mainstreet]

The 14 turnovers were a killer for the Suns. Raptors only had 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are has some halftime stats.

Ayton only has 2 points and 5 rebounds but he has 2 assists.

Raptors must have studied the Suns offense as they are thriving off 18 Suns turnovers.

Suns trail 63-54.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dario doing the right thing taking the ball inside but he has no elevation on his shot.

Suns trail 63-54.

Whatever offense we do have it seems like a lot of people are able to study it very easily……

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric again for another basket.

Whatever offense we do have it seems like a lot of people are able to study it very easily……

It doesn't help the Suns look like they are running in mud.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Raptors are racing the ball down the court and taking advantage of the Suns porous defense and turnovers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clearly a charge by Raptors but the referees have a long discussion.

Monty wins the challenge.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think it's fair to wonder if the referees dislike the Suns.

Paul has been banged around a lot tonight and the recipient of some questionable calls.

 

[cheesebeef]

Bridges get the 3 WIDE OPEN, pisses his pants, hesitating twice for no reason, then throws it to a covered Paul for a contested 3 clank… Raptors hit a 3 on the other end.

 

[cheesebeef]

Bridges catches the defense sleeping, but instead of going strong to the hoop composed, he flies in out of control and then throws up a wild layup that misses.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Raptors 86 - Suns 79
