Naz draws the charge.

KAT with the and-one chance when SloMo finds him for a little dump inside. KAT smiling and joking with Naz.

KAT tries another 3 from a step back from the top of the key. If he'd have gotten down the floor just a half beat earlier, that would have been a much easier shot.

And KAT throws it away for the first time of the year with that behind the head no look pass of his. What is the percentage of those passes that are completed?

Barnes is good.

Not a great debut for Milton

Actually, when thinking about comps for Leonard Miller, Scottie Barnes might not be bad. A big man who runs the floor and passes well, but doesn't have much of a shot. Barnes obviously is much more proven, but in terms of skillset for a big guy, you can see a kind of model for Miller there.

Naz cursing out Flynn for fouling hi while he was running flat out there.

Rudy needs to be more patient when finishing.

Ant back in.

No, it wasn't. But it can only go up from here! :D

Feeding Rudy down low usually isn't very pretty, but it does seem to lead to points. I'd like to see some statistical analysis on that.

Rudy with a nice block there.

Barnes hits a nice shot.

Mad scramble on the other end for us.

SloMo back out, NAW back in.

It's the starters plus Naz for KAT right now. It'll be interesting to see how much Finch splits up the Rudy-KAT minutes. At this point, I think he's had one of them in at all times, and that makes sense.

Another Toronto offensive points leads to a second chance bucket.

NAW with a really tough fadeaway bank shot there.

Solid D on the other end.

Ant plays here ball, kicks to Naz who AIRBALLS a 3, then Rudy with a crafty move to bat the ball off Trent who is standing out of bounds.

Losing now by one.

Toronto has 4 fans who get their chairs like right there on the sideline.

Jim Pete mispronounces Mike CON-LEY's name for the first time this season.

Rudy with the O-board and putback.

Another Toronto O-board and outback.

Schroeder causing problems.

We need to stop turning the ball over. Getting away from us here a bit.

A McDaniels sighting! But it's the brother, and he's playing for the Raptors now. Man, he looks like Jaden though.

Nice wall-up from Kat and Naz!
