TORONTO -- In the moments before the Toronto Raptors took the court for Game 4 in Brooklyn, they huddled in the locker-room and watched footage of their fans gathered back home in Maple Leaf Square. The Raptors went on to win Game 4 and even up the series and say theyve drawn inspiration from the swell of support theyre receiving in their home city. "I told the team, the fans are doing their part, weve got to do our part as a team, as a group of guys to lead the fight on the court, because the fans are behind us 100 per cent and theyre loud and theyre very proud. And they should be," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. The Raptors expect a repeat of Sunday, when a capacity crowd of 2,500 red-clad fans jammed Maple Leaf Square to watch the game on the giant screen outside the Air Canada Centre. Thousands more packed the roads leading up to the ACC in a raucous outdoor celebration similar to the citys playoff party during the Maple Leafs brief run last year. "Oh man, its unbelievable, our fan base," Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry said. "It makes you want to just be a part of it. Things that were doing right now and the way the fan base is going out there, we want to go out there and play hard and give them a reason to keep coming back and packing Maple Leaf Square and packing the ACC. "We need our fans, we love our fans. . . We cant wait to see (Wednesday) night, the vibe and the energy were going to get." The series has been a spirited battle even before the first ball was tossed up, thanks to general manager Masai Ujiris now-famous F-bomb. Its been a fierce fight on the court. Casey said Kyle Lowry looked like hed been through a 15-round bout after Game 4, and the coach expects both teams to come out swinging in Game 5 on Wednesday. "Its not going to be all smiles and bubble gum and fruitcakes. . . Its going to be a street fight," Casey said. "Thats the way weve got to come out, with that mentality." The Raptors, said Lowry, were caught on their heels Game 1 of the series. The less-experienced Raptors -- three of the teams starters had never made a playoff appearance -- werent prepared for how physical post-season action would be. They lost that game. They put up a fight in Sundays Game 4 victory in Brooklyn, holding the Nets to just three baskets in a scrappy fourth quarter. But they were forced to battle back from a lackadaisical third quarter, a bad habit the Raptors havent been able to shake all season long. "Weve got to compete like that for 40-plus (minutes)," Casey said. "The third quarter has been our nemesis. . . thats what we have to remedy, coming out of the locker-room at halftime with that desperate disposition." Despite being the No. 3 seed, the Raptors were considered underdogs in this series based on playoff experience. DeMar DeRozan said theyve played with a chip on their collective shoulder with that underdog mentality all season, so this is nothing new. "We understood coming into this series that people still counted us out, people still doubted us, people said: Brooklyns experience, this, that and the third. . . whatever you want to hear," said DeRozan, who struggled through playoff jitters in Game 1 but has shone for Toronto in the three games since. "Weve been counted out so long, weve got the underdog mentality. I dont think thats going anywhere." Playoff experience was a major theme when this best-of-seven series began. Future Hall of Famer Paul Pierce alone -- with 136 playoff appearances -- had played in almost as many post-season games as the entire Raptors roster combined. None of Torontos starters -- Lowry, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Amir Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas -- had ever started in a playoff game. DeRozan, Ross and Valanciunas had never played in the post-season, period. The Raptors say that four games in, experience doesnt mean much anymore. "Its just who wants it more from here on out. Thats what it boils down to now," DeRozan said. Added Casey: "I dont think were as wide-eyed and bushy-tailed as we were in Game 1." Ross remains the one Raptor struggling with the playing on the big stage of the post-season. The athletic sophomore, who poured in 51 points in a game earlier this season, scored zero in Game 4. Casey and the players remain fiercely supportive of the 21-year-old. "Im not going to do anything to crush that young mans confidence or what hes brought to the table thus far," said Casey, pointing out that Ross has done some good things on the defensive end. "And its not about Terrence Ross, its about our entire team," the coach added. "The spotlight should not be on him in any way whatsoever. The reason why we win or lose is not because of what Terrence Ross did or didnt do." Air Vapormax Clearance .

In an odd game that was way closer than it should have been, San Jose won 3-2 on Brad Stuarts goal 1:13 into overtime. Stuart jumped up in the rush, drove the net and had Joe Thorntons shot deflect sharply off his elbow and past Reto Berra for the winner. "Its been a long time since Ive had an overtime goal," said Stuart. "It wasnt pretty but Im not going to tell anybody how it went in, it just went in." San Jose dominated play throughout the game, outshooting Calgary 35-13, yet werent able to put the game away. "Weve had a lot of close games and just havent been able to finish it," said Stuart. "Tonight, we let them back in it and we shouldnt have but for us to get the points, itll be a good positive for us moving forward." From the start of the game, Calgarys trademark work ethic was absent and that was a source of frustration for the coaching staff. "That was the biggest spanking that weve taken in the first period," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. "We didnt touch the puck. The only way that we could have touched the puck is if we would have had two pucks out there." San Jose got a goal from Logan Couture on its second shift of the game and then a power-play goal from Patrick Marleau in the final minute, taking a 2-0 lead in a period in which they outshot the home side 17-3. "In the first period, we didnt see our team at all," Hartley said. "I asked (assistant coach) Marty Gelinas, should I change my lines and he said yes. I started looking and I couldnt find three guys that I felt that had decent energy." Down 28-6 on the shot clock after 40 minutes yet only down 2-0 thanks to Berra, Calgary finally got enough going in the third to rally back and tie it. Calgarys comeback bid began when it got its first power play of the night six minutes into the period. The Flames would need just five seconds to convert. Rookie Sean Monahan cleanly won a faceoff from Thornton, pulling the puck back to Kris Russell and the Flames defenceman ripped a slapshot past Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock. The goal snapped a 0-for-30 drought on the power play for Calgary that had lasted nine games and covered more than 54 minutes. Less than four minutes later, Mike Cammalleri tied it on a backhand at 10:25, setting off a deafening roar from the sell-out Scotiabank Saddledome crowd, announced at 19,289, who until the third period had very little to cheer about. But that momentary surgee would be the long bright spot on the evening for the Flames, who were kicking off a three-game homestand.dddddddddddd "Were all proud people and thats been something from day one, weve been a team that played with pride and we dont want to be beat, playing in games where our shot totals look like that," said Cammalleri. "I dont see any moral victories in that." After missing the first seven games with a hand injury, the pending unrestricted free agent leads the Flames with eight goals in 11 games. "In the third, we were desperate and I felt that we saw our good old team again but all that said. If not for Reto Berra, the Sharks can get on the plane after the first period and theyd already have the two points," said Hartley. San Jose (11-2-5) snaps a five-game winless skid, although in a similar way to Tuesdays result, it was misleading. During the span, they had three shootout losses and one loss in overtime. "Weve been playing good hockey, we just havent been winning shootouts. To get the full two (points), its finally nice," said Thornton. "We had two hiccups but we played good tonight. Thats how we need to play every night." Calgary (6-9-3), kicking off a three-game homestand, is winless in its last four. Berras record falls to 1-2-1 while Stalock continues his unusual distinction of having won more games than he has started in his brief NHL time. He won his NHL debut in relief on Feb. 1, 2011. Replacing Antti Niemi halfway through the second period with the Sharks down 3-0 to Phoenix, he made nine saves as San Jose rallied back to beat the Coyotes 5-3. In his first NHL start just over two weeks ago, it was a much busier evening as he was peppered for 40 shots in San Joses 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. "The other guy played pretty good. He saw a lot of rubber and played a heck of a game for them," said Stalock, the 26-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota. "On my end, it was pretty quiet for two periods. It was a little tougher. Youve got a lot more time to think about the next puck than just reacting." Notes: Ladislav Smid made his Flames debut, playing 16:50...
