Jack and Turkoglu lead the Raptors to Oklahoma to face the Thunder after the Canadian Mens’s Hockey team win the Gold.

When you do that, there’s a better chance that guys turn it over.”
Check out our second episode of LCN with host Colin Alschotz direct from the ACC!! It just keeps getting better.
