LOGO WATCH DINOSAUR Edition...RUDY the RAPTOR with the Game-Winner as the DINOSAURS turn back the Mile High NUGGETS 109-108...COMPTON CALI's D2 leads RAPTORS with 22 pts #RaptorsCarnivores

The Toronto Raptors gets 22 points from Big Guard DeMar DeRozan (pictured below) and 17 points from Rudy "the Raptor" Gay to beat the Nuggets including a Short Jumper from Gay for the Game-Winner.

The Nuggets have finally cooled off after a 9-Game Win Streak and now have lost Two in a row. Nuggets Lead Guard Ty Lawson led all scorers with a Game-High 29 points with little-used SF Anthony Randolph's 16 points and the Manimal...Nuggets PF Kenneth Faried adding his nightly Double-Double with 15 points and 12 boards.

As close as the Game was throughout the Raptors used a +12 from the Arc to off set the Nuggets advantage on the window of +7. The Nuggets can blame themselves for this one as shooting 70% from the Charity Stripe (14-20) will get you beat coming out of the Motel at almost every rip. The Raptors Big Guard DeMar DeRozan has stepped up his Game ever since Rudy the Raptor has joined the Team and they have become a Solid Force Offensively for the Dinosaurs moving forward. That Duo gives them a Fast, Young, and Athleticism from the Big Guard and Wing Forward. Couple that with the solid PG play from Kyle Lowry and the emergence of 2G/SF Alan Anderson the Raptors might be on to to something in the 2nd Half of the season.  

The Nuggets will try to end the Road trip before All-Star Break at the Barclays in the BK on Wednesday Night. The Dinosaurs will head to new MSG on a Back to Back (Home n Road) not to face "Godzilla" but to face the Bully of MSG..Melo Anthony. I don't know which is worse..."Godzilla" or the Bully of MSG?
