Raptors-Clippers Preview

The Toronto Raptors are a .500 team so far, but following their second-half performance Wednesday, coach Jay Triano feels they can be much better.

The Raptors open a four-game western swing Friday night, when they look for their fourth straight win visiting the Los Angeles Clippers.

Toronto (4-4) avoided a third straight loss Wednesday with a 99-89 victory over Chicago. After getting outrebounded by 10 in the first half, the Raptors held a 11-rebound edge in the final 24 minutes while outscoring the Bulls 46-29.

"If we play like that half the time, we're going to be a .500 team. If we play like that all the time, we have a chance to be really good," said Triano, whose team is among the league's worst with 40.1 rebounds per game. "Effort is something that should be a constant in this game."

Rookie guard DeMar DeRozan gave the Raptors a huge lift with season highs of nine points and nine rebounds - seven of those coming in the third quarter.

"He chased balls, rebounded and was aggressive," Triano said. "I thought he had one of his best games as a pro.''

DeRozan, a native of Compton, Calif., returns to Los Angeles for the first time as a pro after averaging 13.9 points and 5.7 rebounds as a freshman at USC last season.

Forward Chris Bosh, who leads the Raptors with 28.9 points and 11.5 rebounds, looks for another big game while visiting the Clippers after scoring 31 points and grabbing seven rebounds in a 97-75 win at Staples Center on Dec. 22.

Toronto has won three straight in Los Angeles in this matchup since a 103-100 loss on Nov. 23, 2005.

The Raptors will try extend that run as they face a Clippers team that's dropped two straight following a three-game winning streak.

Los Angeles (3-6) shot a season-low 35.9 percent from the field and scored 10 fourth-quarter points in Wednesday's 83-79 loss to visiting Oklahoma City.

"We just missed so many easy baskets, we really shot ourselves in the foot," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "So many easy baskets, opportunities, good looks from the outside we just didn't make."

Eric Gordon, the Clippers' second-leading scorer at 18.9 points per game, missed his second straight contest with a sore left groin suffered in Saturday's 113-110 win over Memphis. The second-year guard is expected to be out for a minimum of 10 days.

Including four games Gordon missed last season with a bruised left shoulder, Los Angeles is 0-6 without its starting guard.

Center Chris Kaman, though, remains optimistic about this season's squad, especially considering the Clippers' 3-16 start in 2008-09.

"We got to move on,'' Kaman said Wednesday after posting his fourth double-double of the season with 20 points and 11 rebounds. "At this point, we're doing better than we were last year. We are going to keep on getting better.''

Kaman missed the Raptors' last visit to Staples Center with a left foot injury. He had five points and five rebounds in a 100-76 loss at Toronto on March 22.

First-year Raptors forward Hedo Turkoglu left Wednesday's game in the fourth quarter with a sore left hip, but he is expected to play Friday. Playing with Orlando, Turkoglu averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds in two games versus the Clippers last season.

Toronto has won five of six versus Los Angeles.

Raptors storm back from 22 down to drop Clippers

LOS ANGELES (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Toronto Raptors learned one thing Friday night: When the opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers, no deficit is too large to overcome.

The Raptors erased a 22-point first-half deficit and held the Clippers scoreless over the final seven minutes to win the opener of a four-game road trip 104-89 at Staples Center.

The comeback equaled the largest deficit the Raptors have overcome in franchise history.

"More than anything, it was the character," Toronto coach Jay Triano said of the comeback. "I told the players in one of the timeouts, 'We're going to come back and win this game,' so let's start playing sooner rather than later. There was just a feeling about it. We knew we could come back."

Toronto forward Chris Bosh did not make a field goal in the opening 15 minutes, but finished with a team-high 21 points and 14 rebounds. Bosh also contributed six assists. Andrea Bargnani scored 19 points and limited opposing center Chris Kaman to two points in the fourth, and point guard Jose Calderon scored a season-high 18 points for the second consecutive game and contributed nine assists.

Marco Belinelli led the way off the bench, scoring 15 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:10 remaining that gave the Raptors a 96-89 lead and sent many in the crowd heading for the exits.

Those who remained booed loudly as the final seconds ticked down.

"We have a tough road trip and it was important to start in a good way," Bargnani said. "We did a great job on defense and that gave us the confidence to score the ball on offense."

The Clippers (3-7) had all the confidence in the opening quarter. They shot 15-for-20 from the floor -- their best shooting quarter of the season -- to build a 34-17 lead. Kaman and fellow frontcourt starters Marcus Camby and Al Thornton combined to make their first 11 shots. Guard Steve Novak, who had not played in six of the Clippers' first nine games, sank two 3-pointers in the second, each time extending L.A.'s lead to 22. But the Raptors (5-4) finished the half on a 22-9 run to cut the deficit to nine.

Calderon got hot in the third, scoring seven straight to give Toronto its first lead at 63-62. The teams continued to exchange leads into the fourth until Baron Davis made two free throws to give the Clippers their final lead, 89-88, with 6:58 remaining.

Nothing worked after that, as the Clippers missed their final 11 shots while Toronto ended the game on a 16-0 run.

"I like the fight that we had," Triano said. "They didn't want to get embarrassed."

Kaman, the Clippers' leading scorer, struggled in the fourth for the second consecutive game. He started the quarter with 23 points, just four off his career high, but finished with 25 after missing three of his final four shots.

Triano said the Raptors came with the double team on Kaman to start the second half, but then backed off down the stretch.

"Late in the game, we didn't [double team] because we could have settled for his 2s," Triano said. "We didn't want them to get a couple 3s and rally behind that."

With starting shooting guard and second-leading scorer Eric Gordon out for at least another week with a groin injury and first-round pick Blake Griffin not expected back until December with a fractured knee cap, the Clippers are looking for others to pick up the offensive slack.

Davis contributed 17 points and seven assists, Thornton had 12 and Novak finished with 10. Rasual Butler, who has moved into the starting shooting guard role for Gordon, wasn't the answer, finishing 2-for-10 from the floor for six points.

It was the second straight game the Clippers let slip away. They led by three heading into the fourth Wednesday against visiting Oklahoma City, but were outscored 17-10 in the final 12 minutes.

"We got off to a good start and we were free-flowing on offense," Davis said. "All of a sudden, we turned down good shots for worse shots and we started shooting the ball four or five seconds into the shot clock. It seems there is a lack of flow."
