ELITE COMPANY
Chris Bosh passed the 9000-point mark on Wednesday and coupled with his 4,000+ career rebounds, joined some elite company. He became the sixth-fastest player to reach those marks. The other five in order of youngest to oldest are Shaquille O'Neal, Bob McAdoo, Wilt Chamberlain, Kevin Garnett, and Antoine Walker.
LIGHTS OUT
The Celts shot an unheard of, even for the Raptors defence, 83.3% in the first quarter and only had a six-point lead.
IT'S A SEASON
Raptors head coach Jay Triano reached the 82-game mark in his NBA head coaching career last night. With the loss, Triano's mark is 33-49. Oddly enough, Sam Mitchell and Kevin O'Neill both had records of 33-49 in their first 82 games with the team.
FACES IN THE CROWD
Courtside last night and getting a huge ovation was New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker.
