A Tale of Two Bubbles

As Dewan Hernandez returned to the Raptors 905 locker room last Wednesday after the team’s season-opening victory, the 24-year-old forward found Patrick Mutombo, the 905’s head coach, and recalled a memory from the not-so-distant past.

“Who did we shower with water here?” Hernandez asked Mutombo, who is in his first year as the team’s head coach after four years on Toronto’s NBA staff.

It was a question that only the two of them were equipped to answer. Each had been with the Raptors last August when the team doused assistant coach Adrian Griffin in the same HP Field House locker room following a win over the 76ers.
