Staring adversity in the face but Melo and the Nuggets are a great team for a reason stepping it up in the critical stages of this contest. The Raptors got closer to moving forward in the right direction despite the loss. They did however rebound the Nuggets and protect the perimeter something you haven't seen them do in a fairly long time. But the passing of the Nuggets got contagious in the final seconds after "Big Shot" Billups found their star Melo and that is when big stars step up their game!
