Raptors survive
The answer Monday night was Mitchell rejuvenated a stagnant offence by inserting plays that require lots of ball movement, the kind Raptors fans saw last season when the team was playing well.

"I think since the Phoenix game, even though the stats haven't showed it, I thought he played better," Mitchell said. "Since the Phoenix game he has been more under control, his decision-making has been better and you saw (in New Orleans) he battled. He made some key baskets when we were struggling and he played well."

Mitchell laments loss of Ford in Raptors' hit-or-miss offence
T.J. Ford, as key to what Toronto does on offence as anyone else on the roster, not only gets points on his own but his ability to create for others could jump-start an offence that has been hit-and-miss for almost a month. It's all well and good that Jose Calderon has done such an admirable job as the starting point guard but Ford's absence has been crippling.
"What people fail to realize now is Jose is still averaging about the same but you take T.J. Ford's 15 points out," said coach Sam Mitchell, inflating Ford's per-game pre-injury scoring total by about a point.
