DAGGER - NUGGETS 97, RAPTORS 96

NUGGS 97, RAPS 96
I was liveblogging for a couple of NCAA games last night but in between games, I was able to watch the end of the Raptors's heartbreaking loss to Denver Nuggets. 

Carmelo Anthony with the dagger:

TEN GRAND - RAPTORS 106, HAWKS 105

RAPTORS 106, HAWKS 105
He struggled in last night's game, only shooting 6 for 19, but Chris Bosh came up big when he needed to.  Bosh nailed a jumper with just 2.1 seconds to play to help snap the Raps' losing slump.  They caught a huge break when Hedo Turkoglu missed his second free throw with 14 seconds to play and regained possession  when Atlanta attempted to grab the rebound but turned it over back to the Raps.  This gave enough time for Bosh to make the J over Al Horford.

LAKERS 109, RAPS 107
Yeah, Bosh hit a big three with 9 seconds to play. 

Yeah, Jarret Jack had a nice line (18 pts, 7 rebounds, 7 dimes)

And yeah, some dude sitting with the guy from Maroon 5 may have influenced the game but really it all boiled down to this:

ROCKED - ROCKETS 116, RAPTORS 92

ROCKETS 116, RAPS 92
Good teams win on the road.  Good teams adapt when they're shorthanded.  The Raps looked nothing like a good team at all last night.
