Hedo Turkoglu scored four points in 15 minutes in the first half, but did not return after halftime because of a sore ankle. Marcus Banks led the Raptors with 15 points. TOUGH TIMES INDEED!

We haven't been to a Leafs game at the ACC. We try to get to a couple of Raptors games each year. In addition to an entertaining ball game, there is lots of activity during the time outs and breaks.
