To me, the win over Dallas was surprising – especially the way Dirk rained threes on us the last time. But the ability to beat the Mavs not only shows that the Raptors are capable of dominating some of the top teams in the NBA, but last night’s win shows they are capable of doing it night after night.
Down by 17 at the third, the Raptors came back to win 104-93 with much thanks to Jason Kapono. The big shooter racked up 29 points and essentially saved the Raptors during the fourth quarter with his seemingly unconscious threes. He was a monster in the fourth; 4/4 from behind the arc. There was one three-pointer towards the end of the game, the assist from Calderon, where Kapono didn’t even seem to catch the ball, but rather volley it into the net. The way he was nailing shots from behind the arc while being contested by Pacers was almost Nowitzki-like and Kapono was definitely showing gleams of superstardom in last night’s game.
