NOTES
All of a sudden, the Raptors have turned into a bunch of Wilt Chamberlain and Dennis Rodman clones.
A Toronto team that has been among the bottom-feeders of the NBA in rebounding all season has out-rebounded its last five opponents by some staggering amounts.
They held a 42-32 rebounding advantage over Chicago on Sunday after having more boards than Oklahoma City (17), Milwaukee (5), the Los Angeles Clippers (23) and Charlotte (1) on the just-completed homestand.
Included in those five games were two with 50 or more rebounds and a season-high 20 offensive rebounds against Los Angeles.
The 50 field goals - in 92 attempts - that Toronto had on Sunday against Chicago was the most they've had in a game this season. It's also one off the all-time franchise high of 51 field goals in a game, set Dec. 5, 2007, against Phoenix.
