Toronto pulled off the 96-92 upset of Indiana today, thanks to a mistake-filled game. "We stank," said losing coach Coach Hitch. "We beat them around like high-schoolers whenever we played like we usually do, but that wasn't often enough. There's just no excuse for that type of play. I suppose we just got overconfident; I mean Indiana isn't exactly a top-notch team. But we sure stank it up out there."

Toronto coach Bob focused more on the positives. "Coach Hitch can say what he wants, but we really managed to knock them out of their usual plan. Would that have happened if they weren't playing anybody? He makes it sound like they gave the game away, but the truth is that we played with them the whole way and were in position to capitalize when our chances came."

Toronto was led by Henderson (9 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 4 blocks), Lillard (10 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a block), Morgan (8 points, 7 boards, 2 assists). Indiana was led by Cato (29 points, a steal), Henderson (25 points, 8 boards, 0 assists), Mccoy (14 points, 2 blocks).

Toronto improve to 14-19 and 8-10 at home after today's victory. They remain at #3 in the Atlantic and stay at #13 overall in the Eastern Conference. With today's defeat, Indiana stand at 19-12. They fall to #3 in the Central and fall to #5 overall in the Eastern Conference.
