After the Dallas Mavericks escaped a furious comeback from the Toronto Raptors Friday night, 111-110, Josh Bowe and I got on to discuss the important victory.
The Mavericks played a strong game for three quarters, building a lead, losing it, the rebuilding it again to double digits heading into the fourth quarter. Once the refereeing got a bit silly the Raptors worked themselves back in a position to steal one from the Mavericks, but some late free throws and fortunate bounces on the offensive glass meant Toronto didn’t have enough time for any heroics.
