Some of the better stuff:
"Toronto did a great job of swinging the ball. The Raptors moved it like they'd invented the art. The idea, of course, is to make the defense huff and puff, covering the floor, ultimately finding an open man. They worked it to perfection....
And how's this adding insult to injury? The Raptors won the game on a layup! With 10.5 seconds left and Boston up by a point, Jose Calderon drove the lane, made the bucket and got fouled. The conventional three, of all things on this night, put the visitors up by a pair...."

"The 3s were "the story of the game," said Pierce. But it was more than that. Toronto shot an eyepopping 58 percent from the floor, and at the foul line they were 19-for-19. "At least the foul line wasn't guarded," said Rivers with a bit of sarcasm."
