TORONTO - Its not a trait that Dwane Casey is entirely
proud of, certainly not one hes comfortable relying on,
but his team has mastered the art of procrastination.
">Custom Portugal Jerseys . The Raptors had an early
deadline Sunday, a dreaded afternoon game, and they left
the bulk of their work until the last minute, as theyve
done so many times before. Casey - like an angry parent,
stringent teacher or meticulous boss - gave them the
wake-up call they sorely needed. Down by as many as 14
points and allowing the visiting Hawks to shoot 54 per
cent in the first half, the Raptors coach stormed into
the locker room and addressed his team at intermission.
"I sang them a lullaby," he joked. "I gave them some milk
and cookies and said, lets go." You didnt have to be a
fly on the wall to gauge the tone of Caseys halftime
sermon. "Oh, man, he came in here yelling," said DeMar
DeRozan after Torontos 96-86 comeback victory over
Atlanta. "Once Casey yells, you either have to do your
job or youre going to hear him yelling after the game. We
understood." Having dropped their first four Sunday
afternoon games this season - allowing at least 112
points in each of them - the Raptors hit the snooze again
on this day. Toronto shot 28 per cent in the opening
quarter, scoring 16 points and committing seven
turnovers. "I told Tim Leiweke on the way in [the locker
room], it was like pulling teeth," Casey said. "It was
like going to the dentist office in that first half." "We
were playing terrible [in] that first half," echoed
DeRozan. It took nearly 17 minutes of game-time before he
registered his first field goal. It took nearly 20
minutes before Kyle Lowry made his first bucket. "We knew
what we had to do." Trailing by nine points to begin the
fourth quarter, the Raptors finally got to business. Led
by its two best players, Toronto scored 36 points in the
final 12 minutes - more than they tallied in the first
and third combined - while holding the Hawks to 15. On
the season, Toronto has scored 209 points more than its
allowed in the fourth quarter, the best mark in the NBA,
and its not close. The two-time defending champion Miami
Heat, second best, have outscored opponents by 141 in the
final frame. Conference leaders San Antonio and Indiana
are third and fourth best. The Raptors have won 10 games
in which theyve trailed after three quarters this season,
something they accomplished just three times a year ago.
"Were just resilient, to be honest, man," said DeRozan.
He and Lowry combined for 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting
in the fourth after scoring 23 on 9-of-24 in the first
three quarters. "We understand how important the game is
coming out in the fourth quarter," continued, DeRozan,
who finished with 21 points. "Everything matters. Our
attention to detail on both ends definitely steps up. We
understand weve got to pull out a win somehow, someway."
Lowrys minutes down in win Less than five minutes into
the game, Lowry was sent to the bench, replaced by
Greivis Vasquez. It was an unprecedented early-game
benching for the Raptors point guard who has been logging
heavy minutes, playing the bulk of, if not the duration
of the first quarter. He did not seem hurt, nor did it
appear to be for disciplinary reasons. Later, less than
six minutes into the third, he was replaced again.
Limiting Lowrys minutes was the plan going in, Casey
explained after the game. "Hes had a lot of minutes,"
said the Raptors coach. "I was talking to our medical
people, and as an organization, were going to try to keep
his minutes down as much as possible. Thats hard, believe
me, as a coach and for him. Hes such a competitor."
Theres nothing specific thats ailing Lowry, Casey said
and he confirmed. Its the wear and tear of a long season
that has the team concerned about Lowry, who is averaging
nearly 37 minutes per night, a career-most. "I dont think
[any] player in the NBA right now feels 100 per cent,"
said Lowry, after scoring 25 points Sunday. "Its that
time of the year where everyone has nicks and nacks and
bruises and all that stuff." Lowry logged 27 minutes, his
fewest since Feb. 3 in Utah, a game he left with a knee
injury. Amir goes down, and gets back up Battling for a
rebound late in the fourth, Amir Johnson collided with
Hawks guard Shelvin Mack and went down hard, holding his
left knee. You may not be surprised when Johnson hits the
deck, although its usually after tweaking one of his
rickety ankles, but you shouldnt be surprised when he
hops back up, which was the case again Sunday, waving off
the trainers and remaining in the game. "It wasnt a
scare, it was just initial pain," said Johnson, who had
six points to go along with eight boards against the
Hawks. "Once I walked it off, I was fine." His teammates
have come to expect the occasional injury scare from him
but that doesnt make it easier to cope with. "To be
honest, hes probably our heart and soul so when that
happened, it kind of scared us a little bit," Lowry said.
"Ive seen Amir get hit by a Mack Truck and get up," joked
DeRozan. "I always hate to see him go down. One thing
about Amir, Amir plays through any and everything. He
kind of scared me tonight. When he grabbed his knee, I
kind of cussed at him a little to make sure he was
alright." Going deep With Patrick Patterson out, still
nursing an elbow injury, and Casey searching for bursts
of energy in a lacklustre first half, the Raptors used 12
of their available players in Sundays game. Vasquez
logged 28 minutes and led the bench in scoring for the
fourth consecutive game with 12. No other Raptors reserve
played more than Tyler Hansbroughs 12 minutes. Chuck
Hayes played well, scoring four points and grabbing three
rebounds in 11 minutes and Nando De Colo logged 10,
hitting his first field goal in eight games with the
Raptors. The stat Lowry extended his career-best streak
of 19 or more points to nine games. Hes averaging 22.6
over that stretch, scoring 20 or more in each of his last
six contests. The quote "Im only 24, Ill play the whole
game," said DeRozan, on the possibility of having his
minutes cut down, like Lowrys. "Kyles old. Hes damn near
30. I understand, youve got to do what youve got to do.
Im ready for whatever."

Portugal-Jersey/ . The mood in Seattle was
electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions
began near the Space Needle and made its way to
CenturyLink Field, the home of the team. At a ceremony
inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers
-- the 12th Man -- capping a day of boisterous
celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to
Seattle. BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Romelu Lukaku scored a hat
trick to lead Belgium 5-1 past Luxembourg in a World Cup
warm-up game on Monday. The triple boosted Lukakus
chances to be Belgiums striker at the World Cup after
Christian Benteke withdrew injured almost two months ago.
Belgium had gone four matches without a win but ended
that run against its tiny neighbour. Lukaku opened the
score in the 3rd minute, scrambled a second home in the
23rd and made it three with a solo effort in the 54th
minute. The Everton forward was replaced on the hour. "It
was a good performance," said Lukaku of his game in Genk.
"What makes me happy is that we performed as a team."
Substitute Nacer Chadli added a fourth in the 71st minute
and Kevin De Bruyne finished off with a penalty in the
90th. Luxembourg had earlier scored their only effort
through Aurelien Joachim in the 13th minute. In Brazil,
the Red Devils will play Algeria, Russia and South Korea
in Group H. The game was also noteworthy for the debut of
Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj, who only chose to
play forr the national team last month.
Portugal-Jersey/">Beto Jersey. With flowing one-
touch football and moves on both sides of the pitch, he
immediately had an impact. "He gives us an extra
dimension," said coach Marc Wilmots, but warned Januzaj
was still far off getting his spot on the starting
lineup. "He faces a lot of competition." Belgium had
Sammy Bossut in goal, who would normally be the fifth-
choice keepers but because of injuries and an extended
rest for No. 1 Thibaut Courtois, he had a winning debut.
Simon Mignolet was still suffering from a sore muscle in
his hip and Wilmots decided to rest him. Belgium plays
Sweden on Sunday and Tunisia on June 7 in its final warm-
up games ahead of leaving for Brazil. Belgium lineup:
Sammy Bossut; Toby Alderweireld (46, Anthony Vanden
Borre), Vincent Kompany (46, Daniel van Buyten), Thomas
Vermaelen, Jan Vertonghen (77, Nicolas Lombaerts);
Marouane Fellaini, Axel Witsel (46, Steven Defour), Kevin
De Bruyne, Eden Hazard (46, Adnan Januzaj); Romelu Lukaku
(61, Divock Origi), Kevin Mirallas (46, Nacer Chadli).
