Re: VC Resurrection : Toronto Raptors Journal
TOR @ BOS
Toronto takes their injury-plagued squad to Boston,Mass to face Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, and the rest of the Celts. A.Davis would be benched this game due to a bum ankle, and Nate Huffman, Michael Bradley and Jerome Williams would all play injured.
The aforementioned All-Stars were expected to keep Vince cold, as he has been struggling lately.
They did not do their job.
Neither did Toronto when it came down to stopping Pierce as soon as he caught fire. By the end of the half, after a strong run, the Raptors were down 6 by getting points off of turnovers. Pierce had 30 points at halftime. His average stood at 23.5 coming into the game.
As the 4th quarter rolled around, both teams battling to hold the lead, it came down to who was going to make more shots between VC and 'The Truth'.
Carter's Raptors take the victory after holding the Celtics scoreless in the last minute.
Not mentioned, there were TWO 50-point performences in this game. Carter scored a point more than Pierce, as his team takes the victory.
Toronto wins, 112-109
