ATLANTA -- Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey has seen enough when it comes to costly missed calls late in the game. Casey was livid Wednesday night after officials made no call on apparent contact to DeMar DeRozan under the basket in the final seconds of Torontos 93-92 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. "Im tired of this," Casey said. "Im tired of losing games because of missed calls at the end of the game. I know the leagues going to come down on me for this, but I dont care. Guys have fought their hearts out, played their hearts out and at the end of the game we get cracked, apology, go back to Canada." With Toronto leading 92-91, a missed jumper by John Lucas set up a Hawks timeout with 27.8 seconds remaining. A few passes around the perimeter set up Horfords open jam to Atlanta the lead. Al Horford blocked Kyle Lowrys shot out of bounds with 12.6 seconds remaining. The officials review of the video confirmed possession belonged to Toronto. Following a timeout, Alan Anderson missed a long jumper, DeRozan grabbed the rebound and had his attempt under the basket blocked by Horford. There was apparent contact from Horford on DeRozan, but no foul was called. Casey and the Raptors wanted a foul called during the intense exchange, but no whistle meant the Hawks survived for the win. Casey charged onto the court with his arms extended, demanding an explanation for the no-call in the final seconds. He was still upset in his postgame news conference. "Ive been in this league 18 years and Ive never seen as many missed calls at the end of the game to cost us the game," Casey said. "We have good officials. Too good to miss calls and short-change these young men like that. And its not right." DeRozan led Toronto with 23 points. John Lucas added a season-high 19 points, Alan Anderson had 15 points and Aaron Gray had eight points and 11 rebounds. The game followed a late-afternoon trade which could reshape Torontos season. Longtime Raptors guard Jose Calderon and forward Ed Davis gave farewell hugs to their teammates about an hour before the game as word leaked of a trade that will send small forward Rudy Gay from Memphis to Toronto. Josh Smith had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Atlanta. Kyle Korver, who made five 3-pointers, had 17. Smith said the Hawks "played some pretty good defence" in the closing seconds, though he added with a smile "I dont know what happened" after Andersons miss. The Raptors were left with nine players in uniform following the trade. Calderon and Davis were starters, but Gay, averaging 17.2 points and 5.9 rebounds, could boost the Raptors chances of moving into the Eastern Conference playoff race. Toronto entered Wednesdays games in 11th place in the conference, 5 1/2 games behind eighth-place Boston. Al Horford had 22 points and 10 rebounds and played tough defence with two blocks near the basket in the closing seconds. "It was a do-or-die situation," said Hawks coach Larry Drew, whose team braced for Torontos final possession during a timeout with 12.6 seconds remaining. "I told them during the timeout just believe in your defence, go out and get that one stop, and they did. There were bodies flying all over the place." The Hawks had 10 three-pointers, giving them a franchise-record five straight games with at least 10 threes. Drew said before the game he warned his players to not be distracted by the Toronto trade. Despite Drews warning, the Hawks appeared to be sluggish in the first half as they fell behind by 13 points at 53-40 following a 10-0 run by the more aggressive Raptors. Toronto outrebounded the Hawks 28-13 in the half and led 55-45 at halftime. The Hawks finally answered Drews call in the third quarter, when they took the lead by outscoring the Raptors 30-14. NOTES: Brothers B.J. and Justin Upton, added to the Braves outfielder through free agency and a trade, respectively, had front-row seats, one day after Justin had his introductory news conference in Atlanta. ... Gray had 10 rebounds in the first half, matching his season high for a game. He had 22 points and 10 rebounds in Torontos 112-102 loss to Golden State on Monday night. ... The Raptors finished with a 52-36 advantage in rebounds. Authentic Owen Daniels Jersey .

After a string of disastrous and high-profile misfires (Jason Kapono, Jermaine ONeal, Hedo Turkoglu, losing Chris Bosh, missing out on Steve Nash), its hard to find a person who follows the team from afar who believes that Colangelo should still have a job with the Raptors. Authentic Arian Foster Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV, tonight at 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt. Lee left in the fourth quarter of Saturdays Game 1 loss due to a hip injury.

(Sports Network) - Owners of the best record in baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies aim to become the majors first club with 40 wins when they wrap up a four-game series versus the Chicago Cubs today at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are 39-26 and have won back-to-back games over the Cubs following a series-opening loss in 11 innings on Thursday. They have won five of seven overall and improved to 4-2 on an 11-game homestand with Saturdays 7-1 victory behind eight superb innings from Cliff Lee and four RBI out of Chase Utley. Lee allowed one run and four hits and struck out seven, while Utley homered and collected two hits for the NL East-leading Phillies. He used all of his pitches. He was in command of the game, Phils manager Charlie Manuel said of his lefty. When he uses his curveball, that gets em to chase, especially when hes up in the count. Thats a good pitch for him. Lee improved to 4-0 lifetime against the Cubs and has won his last four starts at home. Phillies starting pitchers are now 18-7 for the season in their own back yard. Shane Victorino aided Lee with three hits, three runs scored and an RBI in a winning effort. Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez also knocked in runs to help Philadelphia to its second straight seven-run outburst. Philadelphia, which is 8-2 on Saturdays this season and 5-0 at home, will also welcome Florida to town for four games and will play a doubleheader versus the Marlins on Wednesday. Phils starter Roy Oswalt is still searching for his first win since April 21 and will try again this afternoon. Oswalt is 0-4 with a 3.94 earned run average in his last six starts and the Phillies are just 1-5 over that stretch. Oswalt has dropped back-to-back starts and previously pitched in Tuesdays 6-2 loss against the Dodgers in which he was reached for four runs and eight hits over six innings. Oswalt, who is 3-4 with a 3.05 ERA in 10 overall starts, began the year 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in four trips to the bump, but has fallen on hard times. The righty is 1-2 in four home starts this season and will face Chicago for the 33rd time in his career, In the first 32 appearances, 31 of which have been starts, Oswalt is 14-13 with a 3.82 ERA. He prevviously faced the Cubs in an 8-5 loss last June 5 as a member of NL Central-rival Houston and was rocked for six runs and nine hits in seven innings for the loss.dddddddddddd Chicago has lost 10 of its last 12 games and fell to 2-7 on a 10-game road trip following Saturdays 7-1 setback. Matt Garza pitched well in defeat, surrendering two runs -- one earned -- and five hits in six innings. Sean Marshall was reached for two runs in the seventh inning and Casey Coleman gave up three runs and two hits, including Utleys home run, in the eighth inning. The biggest thing today was trying to get strike one, Garza said. I fell behind a lot early and tried to wiggle out of it. Lou Montanez drove in the Cubs only run in the third inning and had one of his clubs four hits on the day. Up-and-coming second baseman Darwin Barney led Chicago with two hits in a losing effort, while leadoff hitter Starlin Castro was 0-for-3 with a run scored. Surprisingly, Cubs leadoff hitters own an MLB-best .407 on-base percentage. The Cubs will head home Sunday to begin a tough seven-game residency at Wrigley Field versus the Brewers (4 games) and Yankees (3 games). They are 16-14 when their starters go at least six innings and 9-24 otherwise. The last time Cubs starter Doug Davis reached the win column was last May 5 at Los Angeles as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Davis will toe the rubber today and is donning a Cubs uniform now, sporting an 0-5 record with a 6.37 earned run average in five starts. He previously pitched in an 8-2 loss at Cincinnati and permitted four runs on seven hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. Davis, a left-hander, fell to 0-2 in two road starts and is still nine wins shy of 100 for his career. Davis has made eight career starts against the Phillies, going 2-2 with a 3.71 ERA in that span. He last faced Philadelphia in a 12-3 loss on August 20, 2009 with Arizona and yielded six runs -- five earned -- in five innings of work. Chicago won four of six versus Philadelphia last season, splitting a two-game series at Citizens Bank Park. The Cubs are playing their first four-game series in south Philly since going 1-3 at Veterans Stadium in 2003. wholesale jerseys china' ' '
