The man who has been scrutinized heavily for defensive errors as of late, Nick Garcia, was singled out.<br><br>
The Revs had brought the match level at the 47th minute. Then Garcia's giveaway to Zack Schilawski led to the rookie scoring his second goal on way to a hat-trick. Toronto was in tatters after that, conceding another two on the trot. <br></span></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_pitchbattles.gif" alt="PITCH BATTLES"></td></tr><tr><td style="background-repeat: no-repeat;" height="156" background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_box560.gif"><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/pitchbattles_cronin160_040910.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 20px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">An illness to Julian de Guzman forced Preki to start Amadou Sanyang alongside Martin Saric as the second holding midfielder. Saric and Sanyang singled out Revs' catalyst Shalrie Joseph for punishment. <br><br>
The scheme worked well for the most part. A frustrated Joseph even hit out at Saric in frustration when the referee's back was turned. With the midfield stifled, New England switched their attack to the flanks and punished Toronto from out wide.<br></span></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_manofthematch.gif" alt="MAN OF THE MATCH"></td></tr><tr><td style="background-repeat: no-repeat;" height="156" background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_box560.gif"><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/manofthematch_frei160_040910.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 20px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Jose Calderon continued his assault from the bench for the Raptors, pouring in 15 points (6-12 FGM-A) with seven assists, two steals and just one turnover in 23 minutes of work. <br><br>
Jarrett Jack was also strong in Sunday's game and provided absolutely no reason for kind of change. And why should there be? The Mavs offer a great example of how vital a prolific sixth man can be in Jason Terry and Calderon has looked very good in a similar role of late. </span></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_prekipostgame.gif" alt="PREKI POSTGAME"></td></tr><tr><td style="background-repeat: no-repeat;" height="156" background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_box560.gif"><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/prekipostame_preki160_040910.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 20px;"><p style="margin: 15px 10px 10px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "The one thing with him (Amir Johnson), as well, is we tried to show Dirk (Nowitzki) as many different looks as we could.

The second half of the season begins much like the first for the Raptors (21-20), as they face Cavaliers (31-11) for a second time. Since the Raptors' 101-91 season-opening win at ACC on Oct. 28, as the Cavs have rocketed back to the top of the Eastern Conference. Andrea Bargnani was brilliant in that opening night win, pouring in 28 points (11-15 FGM-A) and five rebounds. Tuesday's tilt promises to be a real challenge on the road for the the Raptors, as the Cavs have compiled the best home record in the East at 14-3.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="top"><table class="zeroBorder" style="width: 320px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_featuredvideo.gif" alt="Featured Video"></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table class="zeroBorder" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr><td><br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td height="5"><br></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_touchlinetales.gif" alt="TOUCHLINE TALES"></td></tr><tr><td background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_rightcol_bg326.gif"><table class="zeroBorder" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; width: 320px;" border="0" cellspacing="8" cellpadding="5" align="center"><tbody><tr><td width="50" align="center" valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> 13-6</span></strong></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Raptors' record at Air Canada Centre</span></td></tr><tr><td width="50" align="center" valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> 22</span></strong></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Margin of victory for the Raptors, their largest ever against the Mavs</span></td></tr><tr><td width="50" align="center" valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> 5</span></strong></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Number of Raptors turnovers, a season-low</span></td></tr><tr style="margin: 100px 0pt 0pt;"><td width="50" align="center" valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> 29</span></strong></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Number of double-doubles for Chris Bosh, tied for the league lead</span></td></tr><tr><td width="50" align="center" valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> 23-9</span></strong></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Fast break points favouring the Raptors</span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td height="5" background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_rightcol_btm_bg326.gif"><br></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/recap_intheirwords.gif" alt="IN THEIR WORDS"></td></tr><tr><td background="http://www.nba.com/raptors/misc/recap_rightcol_bg326.gif"><table class="zeroBorder" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; width: 325px;" border="0" cellspacing="8" cellpadding="5" align="center"><tbody><tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/assets/default/theysaidit_preki70_040910.jpg" alt="PREKI"></td><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "I am feeling pretty comfortable.
