A Los Angeles Clippers squad hungry for a win should have been able to handle the struggling and nicked-up Toronto Raptors. The outlook brightened for the home team when DeMar DeRozan was announced as the starting shooting guard, but turned gloomy as the visitors were leading 17-6 after 5 minutes. Worse, DeMar had missed every shot he put up, even a pair of free throws.
Oh ye of little faith. A pair of Kyle Lowry 3-balls started the comeback, and the tying bucket was scored by the remarkable Lucas Nogueira. After intercepting an Austin Rivers pass (the first of his three steals) on the perimeter, Bebe dribbled to the hoop for an emphatic throwdown.
