"Es diferente porque todo ha pasado muy rápido", explica tras la victoria por 122-111 sobre Houston Rockets. "Hemos tenido que reajustar tareas y horarios sobre la marcha, pero los jugadores han hecho un gran trabajo. Los que no estaban hoy han hecho un gran trabajo de preparación del partido. Siempre hemos tenido a Nurse ahí, hemos hecho un Zoom. Esto es un trabajo de equipo y esa es la filosofía de Nurse. Me he sentido muy cómodo. El partido no ha sido fácil, pero al final ha sido un buen resultado para nosotros".
Sergio Scariolo to serve as acting coach for two weeks?
The Raptors did not announce any further news on Nurse or his staff, but league sources say it could be a “couple of weeks” before they are back on the job. And Scariolo is the obvious replacement. “When I first met him, I was like, ‘Sergio is a head coach,’” Lowry said. “He’s the head coach, A-type personality. That’s just him. That’s who he is. He’s very smooth. He’s very passionate about the game. He knows what he’s talking about.” – via Toronto Star
