You can probably count on both of your hands the number of times that Kobe Bryant has scored the game-winning basket and saved the Los Angeles Lakers from the jaws of defeat.

Kobe Hits Game-winning Basket, Lakers Edge Raptors 109-107
Big Second Quarter Helps Raptors Stomp Mavericks 110-88
The Dallas Mavericks, by and large, are a focused team most nights. For whatever reason, the focus vanished once they crossed the Canadian border when they came to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto to face the Raptors on Sunday. A big 34-18 second quarter was more than enough for Toronto to coast to their [...]
Ginobili Helps Shorthanded Spurs Beat Raptors 131-124
The San Antonio Spurs, by at least their standards, are struggling. Injuries have been the main culprit as during Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, they were missing Tony Parker and Tim Duncan – out due to injuries. Which meant that they would have to turn to their “third option”, Manu Ginobili, as their “go-to” [...]

Pacers Ruin O’Neal’s Homecoming, Shoot Down Raptors 111-104
Friday’s game between the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers was a homecoming of sorts for Raptors center Jermaine O’Neal as he played for the Pacers from 2000-08, having been traded to Toronto during the 2008-09 season. Although he saw limited action during the game, he got a mixed reaction from the crowd at Conseco Fieldhouse. [...]
Parker, Bosh Combine For 49; Raptors Beat Magic 108-102
The Toronto Raptors were without Jermaine O’Neal and Jose Calderon in their game Sunday against the Orlando Magic; in a situation like that, what does one do?
