The Raptors kicked off their nostalgic 15th season tonight against the Cavaliers, but the result was very new. After building a sizable lead over a flatfooted Cleveland team, playing the second of a back-to-back, Toronto collapsed. However, unlike years past, this edition managed to regroup and take the lead back. The story coming into tonight was all about the radically different Raptors roster and the result could not be better. 101-91, and perfect for the moment. Andrea Bargnani was fantastic, leading the charge with 28 points and showing flashes of brilliance. Chris Bosh quietly scored 21 but really made a huge impact collecting 16 boards. LeBron put up a triple-double but the story tonight is about Toronto. Lets hope they can keep it up Friday against the (Vancouver) Grizzlies.
