 Game Notes: Wizards at Raptors  Links7
by Marcel Mutoni Prior to the game, I had a reservation at a French restaurant in downtown Toronto. Dinner guests included wifey and a chatty slew of her girlfriends – a perilous situation for any red blooded male to be sure. Thankfully, I had the game as a built-in excuse to bolt early.

... Sorry, but here’s another Primoz anecdote: Primoz Brezec, though, seems to have moved on from the tough loss rather quickly. His locker is next to Calderon’s, who is taking questions from a throng of media, and Primoz is busy apparently prepping himself for the remainder of the evening.
