Game 76 Raptors at Spurs

Raptors are on a 2 game win streak as the season is winding down. They roll into Texas tonight to take on the San Antonio Spurs on their home court. Will the mighty Spurs stand their ground or can Raptors hand them their first loss on their own soil?


  • It's a tough back to back for Toronto. After edging out the Grizzlies last night in a grind'em out game they must face the 2nd team in the West. The Spurs are undefeated at home as well. Everything must go the Raptors way to secure a victory tonight
  • Luis Scola is likely still sitting tonight against the team that drafted him. Jason Thompson will get the start for Toronto and has been doing an admirable job. While he might not have the offense that Scola brings, Thompson is relentless on the boards and can cause turnovers with his hustle.
  • Coach Pop has been known to rest his entire starting line up in games down the stretch to prepare for the post-season, but it does not appear to be the case tonight. Expect Parker, Duncan, Aldridge, Green and Leonard to all be active tonight against the Raptors
Tonight's Raptor Track!

Bob Wills & His Playboys - "New San Antonio Rose"

Bob Wills was an old school Western and Swing music singer/song writer. Though the original song "San Antonio Rose" was an instrumental, lyrics were eventually added and it was renamed "New San Antonio Rose". The song would be covered by countless artists like Willie Nelson, Harry James and the most famous version was done by Bing Crosby


Raptors 2nd in East 51-24! Spurs 2nd in West 63-12!
