Toronto Raptors 98, New Jersey Nets 96
The Raptors raced out to a 33-13 lead after one quarter but T.J. Ford was elbowed in the mouth by the “evil” Vince Carter and that ended Ford’s game after only 7 minutes (3 points). So it was up to Jose Calderon to run the show the rest of the night and he had the best game of his career as he willed the Raptors to victory. In 38 minutes on the court, Calderon scored 25 points, grabbed 2 rebounds and dished out 8 assists. Andrea Bargnani got the start and he had a solid game with 18 points and 4 rebounds. Anthony Parker also had a good game with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Morris Peterson got a rare start and he responded with 17 points and 5 rebounds. Chris Bosh had a poor game as he only shot 3 of 11 from the floor and he finished with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. The Raptors stayed alive and now hold a 3-2 edge on the Nets in this series.
