Coach of the Year Mitchell, Raptors even series.

Hours after winning the league's Coach of the Year Award, Sam Mitchell and his Toronto Raptors kept their brilliant season moving in the right direction.

Toronto's big fourth quarter helped them pull out the 89-83 victory, evening the first round matchup at 1-1.

Chris Bosh led the way for the dinasours by putting up 25 points, 13 rebounds and swatting two. Anthony Parker continued his 'most underrated rookie of the year campaign' by adding 26 points and 8 rebounds.

Carter led the Nets with 19 points and 11 boards. Of course Jason Kidd was near a triple double too, with 14 points, 7 assists and 11 rebounds.

Both teams get a couple days to rest as Game 3 is on Friday. I'm stickin with my gut on this and going with Raptors in 7, should be a great couple games left in this series.
