Shutting Down The Stars:

If I'm the Raptors, I'm looking back on this game with pride. Despite the loss, you have to know that the Berserkers have 4 of the top 15 scorers in the league, compared to 0 for the Raptors. It speaks volumes to Colorado's system to pull out such a close game when you're out-gunned offensively. The Berserkers top four of Okabe, Dayudie, Ren, and Vanice were only able to muster two assists between them. On any other night, a defensive performance that strong against the other team's top players will net you a win. Not to mention they also out-chanced the Berserkers! A rough night over all for the Raptors, but there's a lot of positives to carry forward.
