Inconsistent game through the first three quarters...a 9 point lead at halftime shrunk all the way to 2 at one point in the 3rd, thanks to some surprisingly bad D with Bargnani and Calderon getting wide open looks almost every time down, with Rasheed's long bombs being the only reason the Raptors didn't take the lead. Stuckey brought a huge spark at the beginning of the 4th to push the lead out to double digits--steals, fastbreaks, getting into the lane, even hitting a jumper. CB kept it going after he came back in, and that was it. Rip stayed super hot from the floor, 8-11, and the scoring was balanced again with 5 guys in double figures and two more with 8.

Lots of complaining about the minutes for the starters in chat, but it didn't look too bad to me. Rip did play 39, but "the best conditioned player in the NBA" can surely handle that every now and then. The other starters played between 34 and 35 minutes, Tay a little closer to 36.
