Also, TSN.ca will feature live streaming of the fan festivities at Maple Leaf Square and the post-game news conferences. The only time the Raptors advanced in the postseason came in 2001 when they defeated the New York Knicks, 3-2. They fell to the Philadelphia 76ers in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals that year, but since have failed to get out of the first round the three other times they made the playoffs. "I think we understand the intensity, weve learned that," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said after practice on Thursday. "Its hard in this league because so much is on the line. Were a young team. Its a positive for these guys to go through this." The Raptors took the series lead with a 115-113 home win on Wednesday. Any win is important, but Toronto watched a 26-point lead evaporate before finally securing the victory. "We did everything wrong you could think of in the fourth quarter," Casey said. "This was a learning experience." The Nets appeared ready to pack it in as they began the fourth quarter in a 91-69 hole and had Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett watching from the bench. Somehow, the combination of Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and an unproven bench totaled 44 points over the final 12 minutes to make things very interesting. Mirza Teletovic opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer and converted a three-point play on the ensuing possession to jump-start a 19-3 run that trimmed the Nets deficit to 97-91. Johnson knocked down an open 3-pointer with 3:19 left to pull even at 101-101, and it was knotted at 106-106 prior to a huge 3-pointer from Torontos Kyle Lowry. Two DeMar DeRozan free throws stretched the margin to 113-108, though Alan Andersons second four-point play of the quarter gave the Nets hope inside 10 seconds to play. After DeRozan sank two clutch free throws for a three-point game, the Raptors fouled Andray Blatche, who made his first free throw and grabbed his own rebound after intentionally missing the second. Blatches pass back to the top of the key, however, went over Williams head and into the backcourt for a violation, and the Raptors barely hung on for the win. "Hopefully, this put us on high alert," said Casey. Lowry led the way with 36 points behind six 3-pointers, including the gigantic go-ahead one with 1:04 remaining. DeRozan added 23 points and Jonas Valanciunas chipped in with 16 for Toronto, Johnson paced Brooklyn with 30 points, Teletovic added 17 off the bench while Williams and Anderson each netted 13 in the setback. "The guys fought," Nets head coach Jason Kidd said. "They put us in a position to win on the road, but we didnt do the little things." If the Nets can force Game 7, it will be on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre. If Toronto prevails on Friday, the Raptors will meet the Miami Heat in the second round.

Twins #25 Byron Buxton Green Salute to Service Stitched MLB Jersey . "The acquisition of Dale Weise contributed to the success of our team this season. A young veteran with a lot of character, Dale is an intense player with a strong work ethic.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Hes a big, raw Denver Broncos quarterback with throwing issues who worked with UCLA offensive co-ordinator Noel Mazzone on his own time to fix flaws. Sound familiar? While Tim Tebows messy mechanics needed tons of work, Brock Osweiler needs more tweaks than anything, and he worked this off-season with Mazzone, who was his offensive co-ordinator at Arizona State and also served as Tebows throwing coach. The Broncos second-round draft pick took the field at Dove Valley for the first time Friday, participating in the teams three-day rookie minicamp. Although his right elbow at times dropped below his shoulder and winged out a bit, the 6-foot-8 quarterback showed hes making plenty of progress in capitalizing on his superior size. Some of his throws were so quick, it looked like he was flicking the ball to his receivers. "This is my first practice with this new throwing motion. I felt very comfortable with it," Osweiler said. "I felt more consistent with my accuracy. Where I was trying to put the ball, for the most part the ball ended up there. So I was very happy with it; now Ive just got to keep building upon that." At times he reverted to his old habits, and quarterbacks coach Adam Gase let him know it. Coach John Fox said Osweilers work with Mazzone is paying off. "I think when we went there to Arizona State for a private workout, you could tell that hed worked on his delivery," Fox said. "It used to be a little bit lower. Guys tweak stuff, whether its golfers with golf swings or you know players with motions and whatnot. Its not radical. He needs to use his height advantage a little bit better with that higher delivery. He was an accurate passer. I think he became more accurate." Osweilers old throwing motion at times negated his height advantage over pass-rushers. "I would say the main thing would be getting my elbow raised up. A lot of times in college, my elbow would drop below my shoulder, and when you do that, you lose velocity, you lose accuracy, youre less consistent with your throws," Osweiler said. "So, we basically made a huge point to bring that elbow up to a more traditional throwing motion and get it above my shoulder." The question facing Osweiler, who threw for 4,036 yards and 26 TDs last season, is whether he can iron things out enough over the next two months to push free agent Caleb Hanie for the No. 2 job behind Peyton Manning this summer. That, and why did he pick jersey No. 6, which was Jaay Cutlers old number before his messy divorce with the Broncos three years ago? "Theres absolutely no significance," Osweiler insisted.

"Basically, I was told that I couldnt have 17," which belongs to receiver Andre Caldwell, "So, I basically just ... picked a number." Only then did he realize it used to be Cutlers. "But, whatever," Osweiler shrugged. "Its a number and hopefully Ill do some good things with it." Osweiler said it was nice to get this "freshmen orientation" at the rookie minicamp before having to mix it up with veterans. "Its awesome. You think your head might be spinning, and then you look to the receiver next to you, and his heads probably spinning even faster," Osweiler said. "Were all on one ship, were going down this river together." Osweiler was joined by 29 other greenhorns at practice Friday, not counting Fox, who had never run a rookie minicamp as a head coach. "With the way the rules were, I had always combined our rookies and veterans together," Fox said. "So, that not being permitted, this is actually the first rookie camp Ive ever conducted as a head coach, and it was good effort and it went very well." Although Fox prefers to work out rookies and veterans together, hes just glad to have these opportunities after last years lockout wiped out the team-building workouts leading up to training camp. "I think it limited us as a staff -- offence, defence and kicking game -- on the number of things you install just because your time frame for that installation was less a year ago," Fox said. "Shoot, when we reported last year, I had to have name tags on their helmets just so I knew who they were. "I think getting to know guys really helps because you know what buttons to push and you know their personalities. This will give us more time to get to know the players." NOTES: Fox was among a Broncos contingent travelling to San Diego for Junior Seaus memorial service at Qualcomm Stadium. "Its a tragedy losing a guy of that magnitude both as a person and as a player," said Fox, who coached the Chargers secondary from 1992-93. The tragedy also hit home for third-round draft pick Ronnie Hillman, who grew up in La Habra, Calif., and attended San Diego State. "I was driving through Oceanside when I heard" about Seaus suicide last week, said Hillman, who went straight to Seaus restaurant to pay his respects.
