Of all the ugly images that have characterized this Raptors collapse, none was more jarring than this.

There were just over four minutes remaining yesterday, Toronto was down by 10 to the Philadelphia 76ers, but the flame of hope still was flickering.

Vince Carter brought the ball down the floor after a Philly turnover but lost control for just a second. Quick as a cat, Allen Iverson picked Carter's pocket and went down the floor for an uncontested layup.
