Antonio Davis, in a performance reminiscent of last season, took on all comers in the Air Canada Centre paint last night and emerged with another double-double statistical evening.

And to the surprise of no one, it also meant the Toronto Raptors won a game.

"We have to find a way to soften the other team's defence and one way to do that is to attack the middle," said Davis, who had 20 points and 11 rebounds in Toronto's too-close 91-88 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last night.

"I think I'm going to force the issue some more, I'm maybe going to demand things a little more and I also think it'll just come with time."
