The Toronto Raptors were hitting the money ball but did get a few timely money balls from former Huntington, WV Prep star by way of #UK and the #BBN Patrick Patterson. Patterson's game-tying money ball with 28 seconds left in regulation sent the game into extras.

In extras it was the Raptors "D" holding the Mile High Nugs to five points and getting the win 112-107. This was after that Nuggets highly-underrated back court of Arron Affalo (25 pts 6 rebs) and Ty Lawson (22 pts 12 asst 6 rebs) served up some "Our back court is Five-Star Humble Pie" to the Raptors back court minus DeRozan. They led all five Nugs starters in double figures with Wilson Chandler adding 18 points.

The Raptors moving game to game getting DeMar DeRozan's offensive production from where ever they can get it gets a game-high 26 points from super-sub Lou Williams. Point god Kyle Lowry with his hands full staying in front of Law Dawg Lawson of the Nugs added 13 points and thirteen helpers. Jonas Valanciunas went 18 points and dozen boards as the big Lithuanian is starting to play All-Star caliber.

The night though belonged to Dinosaurs PF/SF Patrick Patterson who had 19 points and eight boards. He hit the game-tying money ball to send the game into regulation and accounted for 5 of the 9 Raptors made money balls. Take Patterson's money balls away Toronto shoots 4 for 26 from deep with Terrence Ross 1 for 8 and Lou Williams 3 for 10.

#WeTheNorth moves to 16-5 while the Nugs fall to 9-12...
