The Chameleon Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Davis' 22 Helps Warriors Beat RaptorsThe Associated PressBy GREG BEACHAMNovember 14, 2006Baron Davis had 22 points and 12 assists while seizing control of the fourth quarter in the Golden State Warriors' 110-99 comeback victory over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.Davis scored 11 points in the fourth, spurring the Warriors to a decisive 18-3 rally in their third straight victory to open a seven-game homestand. Monta Ellis added 10 of his 14 points in the final period as Golden State rolled past the Raptors after one of the Canadian club's better efforts of the season.Davis put Golden State in front with seven points in 2 minutes midway through the fourth, including a three-point play and one of the Warriors' 11 3-pointers. Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points and Andris Biedrins added 14 points and 12 rebounds in Golden State's third straight win over Toronto.Chris Bosh had 23 points and matched his career high with 22 rebounds for the Raptors, who set a franchise record with a 41-point second quarter. But Toronto went 5 1/2 minutes without a field goal down the stretch, losing its second straight to start a five-game West Coast road trip with 13-of-43 shooting in the second half.Toronto trailed 92-90 on Bosh's layup with 6:37 to play, but didn't get another field goal until T.J. Ford's layup with 1:06 left. Jorge Garbajosa provided a career-high 10 points in a reserve role, and Ford had 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists.Toronto coach Sam Mitchell altered his starting lineup for the first time this season, inserting Fred Jones at guard. Jones scored 11 points in place of slumping Morris Peterson, who hit a long jumper shortly after he entered the game late in the first quarter, but managed just five points.Golden State played without starting forward Troy Murphy, who sat out with soreness in his left heel. Mickael Pietrus started in his spot, contributing nine points _ including a key 3-pointer in the final minutes _ and nine rebounds.After falling behind by 10 points on the first basket of the second quarter, Toronto erupted for its 41-point quarter with 16-for-24 shooting and five 3-pointers. The Raptors went ahead on Garbajosa's 3-pointer, and Bosh finished the first half with 13 points and 13 rebounds.Notes:@ Warriors C Adonal Foyle, who's making more than $8 million this season, got into his second game of the year as a reserve. He had two points and one rebound in 4 1/2 minutes. ... The Raptors' franchise record for points in a quarter is 48 in the first quarter against New Jersey on Jan. 11, 1997. ... Bosh went 11-of-12 from the free throw line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I also read int he T.O. star today that the Raptors are first in the legue in missed shots....This would explain our loss the Warriors and the Hawks.... We need to be winning these games, these are the easy teams!I really hope things come together for his new squad, 'cause right now it seems like the same old, smae old. We need a big man who can box out (don't know why ours can't?), we need a real perimeter shoorter who can take the D off BOsh.Man I've been hearing that for years! Why can't we fill that bill? We always get new player but they never fill those voids, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be winning these games, these are the easy teams!In fairness, Golden State are a pretty decent team although the Raps should have beaten them since Murphy was out with a sore foot. Atlanta on the other hand, is one of the best teams in the NBA so far and a more complete team than Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Since when didi Atlanta become decent. I must be out of the loop.Either way it only gets tougher from hear on in.You are out of the loop then. Atlanta is a pretty complete team and no one's patsy. However, they still have to play in one of the worst professional sports cities in the States. Edited November 16, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Besides what they should have won etc... Why is it that I hear the same needs every year, yet no matter who we get it never fills the void? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
