The Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight 104-84. Despite some in-game weirdness with NBA.com, you can see the recap here. The recap is very Cleveland/LeBron heavy, so here are some Raptors highlights:
Player of the game:
Andrea Bargnani - 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and a block in 25 minutes. If Il Mago can keep that production up through the regular season (as well as keeping his fouls under control - he had three) he'll be a dangerous weapon off the bench, and can provide a very different look from Kapono, Moon, Bosh, or O'Neal.
Notables (minutes played):
Will Solomon (32) - 17 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds
Kris Humphries (21) - 14 points (on 5-7 from the field and 4-5 from the line), 5 rebounds
Chris Bosh (19) - 11 points, 7 rebounds
Full box score
Stat of the game:
The Raptors outrebounded Cleveland 41-32, and every Raptor except Ukic and Parker recorded at least two rebounds.
So we're (sort of) 1-0 and we're (sort of) in first place in the East.
Preseason or not, a win's a win! (Sort of.)

You guys kick ass.
I saw Will Solomon's statline, but didn't catch any highlights and didn't read any good recaps...how does this guy play? I remember watching him play once for Maccabi Tel-Aviv, but I don't recall anything specific about his game.
Seems like he played quite well. One would say he had a Ben Klein-esque statline? Yes?
No.
