NOT QUITE EVERYONE
The Raptors returned three injured players to the lineup in Hedo Turkoglu, Jose Calderon and DeMar DeRozan but lost another. Marco Belinelli was on the inactive list with a sprained ankle. Chances are coach Jay Triano could have a full complement of players for the first time this season on Wednesday against the Sixers when Reggie Evans could be in uniform for the first time this season.
BOWLED OVER
In the six games he has played on Super Bowl Sunday since coming into the league, Chris Bosh now is averaging 24.2 points, 11 rebounds and shooting .649 from the field.
STAT OF THE DAY
This from Paul Jones' Twitter account: "Sacramento's Tyreke Evans is trying to become only 1 of 3 rookies to avg 20-5-5 in his 1st season. Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, LeBron James, are the others. Pretty good company if he can do it."
BOWLED OVER
There was a about a five- second pause after Triano was asked what he thought of Turkoglu's mask. It produced the best response of the day. "Ball," Triano said before walking out of the interview room.
