GS @ TOR -- Toronto holds off a comeback attempt by the Warriors and win in a close on 94-92
================================
ORL @ TOR
Tonight, to of the better Eastern Conference teams will face each other, in a game that is just 'eye candy' for the people watching. Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, Eastern Conference All-Star reps go head-to-head.
Throughout the first quarter, Vince Carter couldn't find his stroke. He went a disgusting 1/12 in the first half, but scraped 6 points out of the horrible shooting, along with 4 assist to start the game.
Moochie Norris had to leave the game early due to a flu, which left another void for Toronto to fill. Enter Lindsey Hunter, a player who has won Toronto a couple games this year by last second shots or steals.
While Vince was struggling in the first half to score, Tracy McGrady wouldn't miss, forcing Toronto to put a better defender on TMac, sicne Carter just wasn't getting the job done. Jerome Williams was given the assignment and did a fairly good job on Tracy McGrady for the whole game.
At the start of the 4th quarter, Toronto was playing with a comfortable lead, and Vince Carter was scoring again.
Everybody on the court played well for Toronto and they win their third straight game, 108-91.
