Raptors pull off 30-point comeback for largest rally in franchise history

TORONTO -- For a brief moment, Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse considered waving the white flag before the fourth quarter Sunday afternoon, as his injury-depleted squad was down 23 points to the Dallas Mavericks in the first game of a back-to-back.

Then Nurse's mind flashed to the Raptors' Dec. 8 loss in Philadelphia, when Toronto trailed by 20 midway through the fourth quarter before going to a press defense that put a serious scare in the 76ers, fueling a comeback bid that ultimately fell five points short.

"I would say historically we've always been a team that fights," Nurse said after the Raptors rallied for a 110-107 win at Scotiabank Arena.
