After going through a long list of sins committed by his team in a 124-120 loss to the Boston Celtics, a list that included calling timeouts at the wrong time, fouling opponents when they had no chance to score and sending the opposition to the free-throw line an incredible 53 times, Raptors coach Sam Mitchell was asked if his players will learn not to make the same mistakes over and over again.

"Either they will," he said, "or we'll find some people who will. It's that simple."
