globesports.com: Easy victory comes at a cost
In Calderon’s four starts, the Raptors are 3-1, and in his past three games, he has made 37 assists and only two turnovers.

With Caldron pushing the ball, the Raptors came out smoking at home for a change, connecting on six of their first seven shots, but that bought them little other than to take more jump shots, which started straying soon enough.

At just about the same time they seemed to forget Mitchell’s pregame missive about not allowing the Grizzlies to get their transition game rolling, first, stately Pau Gasol and then wispy Juan Carlos Navarro beat the Raptors for full-court layups.

That seemed to get the Grizzlies going, or at least Navarro, who showed he was the most valuable player in the Spanish league last season for a reason. Slightly built and only 6 foot 3, he scored nine points in the first quarter on a combination of shifty dribble drives and a lightning-quick release from deep.

But, with Bosh out, the Raptors went small, giving Mitchell a chance to dust off Joey Graham for the first time since the second game of the season, and the Raptors finished the quarter on a game-deciding 23-5 run.

Graham, easing his way back into action after missing eight games with a strained quadriceps tendon, had little to contribute, but Carlos Delfino got hot, hitting six of his seven shots in the half for 14 points.
