Lance Blanks Beats the Buzzer in Toronto

[@chriswahl4139]

I like how they would sometimes play pre season games in non NBA cities. I remember the Bulls in their 90s heyday playing games in Peoria, South Bend, Moline

Agreed, I remember back when they used to have the "Upper Midwest Review" preseason games in different cities.

I was today years old when I learned of this game, and I am a lifelong Hamiltonian. At the time, it had only been a year since the SkyDome first opened, and I had to a double-take of the floor. The Toronto Raptors played three regular season games at Copps, twice in their expansion season of 95/96 vs Milwaukee and Cleveland, and once more the following year vs. New Jersey. I attended all three, and coincidentally, the late Brendan Malone was their first-ever head coach. I attended all three games. RIP Lance and Brendan

The Copps Coliseum (now FirstOntario Centre) isn't in Toronto. It's in Hamilton.

@@ColdSnapVA No worries, a pretty unique scenario all around.
