People always stop me in the street and ask, "Arse, what does great defense look like?" This is what great defense looks like.

If this was a soccer game it probably would've ended in a well-deserved tie with both sides netting a point. The Raptors were good throughout, great at times and looked to have the upper-hand in the fourth quarter, but as is the norm around these parts, when a stop was needed it was nowhere to…
