Since it is another purple night at the ACC tonight, I thought I’d recall some ‘historic’ games we’ve played against Dallas, and as much as last year’s win in their building meant for the revival of these Raptors, something else sticks out.
There are some things that I can never forget:
- My first child being born
- That time I stole a Hot Wheels car from Walmart and got caught
- Darrick Martin keeping the streak alive
Keep in mind that this was a blowout where the Raptors, up to this point, were 0-5 from three-point line and their streak of 628 straight three-pointers was on the line.
The gloom of losing was compounded by the fact that the only thing the Raptors were known for in the NBA at that time was about to go down the drain. Not so fast, said Darrick Martin.
In case you’re wondering, the streak did come to an end many years later at 986 when they lost at the buzzer to the Grizzlies.
