A game that as back and forth even when the Raptors broke it open in the 3rd frame only to see themselves back into a full-fledged fight with the Pelicans late in the 4th. The Raptors down 82-70 cut the lead on three occasions to four but couldn't get any closer as the Raptors eventually pull away late 108-101.

The Dinosaurs Point God Kyle Lowry was the ticket tonight as he fills the book up with 19 points, twelve assists, and seven boards. He controlled the Pace and forced the Pelicans to play at the Raptors Pace throughout and that's what solid PGs do in the Logo on a daily basis night in and night out. PF Patrick Patterson formerly of #RedNation and #ForeverPurple and in College the #BBN added 22 points and six boards. Raptors only 2013-14 All-Star Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozan also gets 22 as he only shot 7 of 21. For the Dinosaurs it was taking care of the Orange and a +12 from the Arc that benefited them.

The Pelicans get a team-high 23 points from Tyreke Evans aka REKE Havoc as he was fresh off a DNP Coach's Decision last night in Brooklyn. H also added ten assist and grabbed five rebounds as Pelicans Lead Man Monty Williams is just trying to see how the young man responds to a little adversity as Reke Havoc needs to start being part of We instead of Me. Anthony Davis chipped in with 19 and seven boards with PG Brian Roberts 18. The Pelicans dug themselves to deep of a hole to get out and shooting 17 of 26 from the Stripe out of the Motel on a 2nd leg of a back 2 back is not getting it done.

The Dinosaurs add to their Atlantic Division Lead at 27-24 and lead Brooklyn by three. The Pelicans drifting further away from having a shot at the #8 seed in the West fall to 22-29.
