Starting with the Raptors center, Jonas Valanciunas, he had his best game out of the whole preseason, scoring 15 points, 7 rebounds and a block. His match up, Jerome Jordan was a player the Grizzlies needed to sign to fill there roster spot, but proved to be ineffective. Andrea Bargnani had a nice shooting game, scoring 21 points, 1 rebound and 3 assist. Raptor's back up, Jose Calderon does what he does best, being a team player scoring 11 point and handing out 7 assist. Rookie Terrence Ross had a much better preseason game, scoring 10 points, 1 rebound and 2 steals. Grizzlies player of the game was former Raptor, Jerryd Bayless showing the Raptors why they shouldn't have let him go, scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assist.
