Andrea Bargnani scored 28 points and had a team-best FIC game score of 16.5 in Toronto's 101-91 Opening Night win over Cleveland.

"I was talking about that with a friend the other day. I was saying if Andrea gets going, if he's scoring the basketball a lot, then we're going to be tough to beat," said Chris Bosh. "He had a great second half of (last) season, but we haven't had that consistency with him scoring so many points. So that's a plus for us."

"I think there's not too many 7-footers who can do the things he can do," added Toronto point guard Jose Calderon, who picked up 11 assists. "Maybe (Dirk) Nowitzki is the only one."
