Nice Roko-centric Spurs/Raps game recap by Eric Koreen:

Roko Ukic was trying to hold court. Jamario Moon felt the need to interject.

Ukic, the Raptors’ reserve point guard, was reflecting on his virtuoso 22-point evening that propelled the Raptors to an unlikely 91-89 victory over one of the league’s elite teams, the San Antonio Spurs, Wednesday night at the Air Canada Centre. His performance included a game-winning running jumper [Pete's note: I thought it was a "floater."] with just 20 seconds remaining.

Moon was screaming over his teammate’s thoughts.

“Roko, tell them you live for it,” Moon hollered.

The sizzling line: 30 mins., 22 pts on 9-13 shooting (69.2%), 2 treys, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, +14.

Haht.

More from Koreen:

But nothing was more impressive than the game-winning runner. Still trailing by a point with just 21 seconds remaining, Ukic, with no passing lanes available, drove at Spurs all-star guard Tony Parker and hit a floater [Pete's note: Aha!] over all-star Tim Duncan.

And from our Roko, our rock star:

I really like those situations when I have got the ball on top [of the key], and I just need to score. I feel pretty comfortable in that situation much more than, for example, shooting the free throws in the end or something like that. I really like live play and trying to make something happen. I didn’t feel much pressure. I just took him to the basket because I saw nobody was helping and the lane was pretty much open.

What did you think, Coach Jay?

When he gets into the game, we like to put him in the screen-roll situation because he’s good at getting to the basket and he’s good at making other guys play him. When San Antonio started to switch, he started to attack the bigger guys and he was pretty effective.

Your Spurs just didn’t show up, right, Coach Pop?

The Raptors won the game, not because we were down or came off of Boston or anything else. We busted our asses tonight and down the stretch they hit about two or three [three-pointers.] They earned the victory so it has nothing to do with us not being ready. Give them credit.

I’m sure Pop meant “give him credit.”

Need more evidence that Roko’s a rock star? Here are a couple photos of Roko in his trademark Mick Jagger pose (thanks, Mookie):

UPDATE: Oops! Missed this nice quote from The Sun:

When noted jokester Jason Kapono stopped by to add his own pat on the back he did so with the parting shot, “Just don’t forget to pack my bags.”

Ukic, not missing a beat, replied “No. Tonight you pack mine.”
