GAME 45: TOR (21-21) @ DAL (26-19) | 98-102 WIN!

[SleepingHero]

Unfortunate DFS couldn't finish the lob.

KP's defense has been amazing so far to start the 3rd.

---

LUUKA 3!

[KillerLeft]

I shouldn’t be surprised when the Mavericks turn up on the defensive end in the third quarter because they have been doing it for like 10 street games, but it still shocks me every time.

[SleepingHero]

And then KP contains a VanVleet drive and forces him out of bounds??

[dirkfansince1998]

Missed the opportunity to extend the lead. Defense was on point but they couldn´t take advantage on offense.

[SleepingHero]

How does the ref by halfcourt call an offensive foul on Kleber but the other two refs didn't think there was anything. And then Luka gets a tech

---

Pascal absolutely destroyed Brunson there.

[SleepingHero]

Luka killing the Raptors in the midrange all night.

---

What a great sequence for Brunson there.

Stopped the Pascal drive and then made a nice move to set up DFS for the lob. Great stuff.

[KillerLeft]

You know…I actually think the Raptors could use KP. I was skeptical about that in the past, but I actually think KP for Siakim might be the foundation of something kind of fair.

I'd be more interested in adding Siakam to the Luka+KP+Brunson Trio. 

Luka/Brunson/DFS/Pascal/KP is a fantastic lineup.

---

THJ lets Boucher just get the rebound and doesn't box out. Leads to an and-1 for Achiuwa.

[KillerLeft]

I'd be more interested in adding Siakam to the Luka+KP+Brunson Trio. 

Sure, but I doubt there’s any remote chance of doing that.

---

It’s encouraging that Brunson is having such a good game tonight, because this team kind of reminds me of the clippers… He is finding solutions to their length that allow for him to get good shot attempts off.

[KillerLeft]

This is a big boy game, and so far the Mavs are holding their own.

JOSH GREEN WITH A 3! YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!

I truly believe the Raptors are a lot better than their record indicates.

[KillerLeft]

Big shot for Green there. Nice pass from THJ.

Sure seems like it tonight.

I think this is what a championship team that is literally only missing a superstar looks like. Neither Siakam nor Van Vleet quite fit the bill.

[LukTheShadow]

Didn't watch few games, like watching different mavs tonight.. positive

[SleepingHero]

This is an interesting lineup.

Luka/THJ/Bullock/Green/KP.

[BolsDamols]

This thing that Siakam does where he screams on every drive trying to fish for a whistle is really annoying, probably learned it from Kawhi

Dude, they have been trending this direction for like two or three weeks. You have missed some great games.

[SleepingHero]

This Champaigne fella is really feeling the whistle.

[KillerLeft]

Good D from Bullock there.

[SleepingHero]

There's definitely a pun here with champagne (sham pain) and champagnie but I can't think of anything.

[KillerLeft]

Luka has this team very frustrated. Love to see it.
