Ninety minutes from where he grew up in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Flynn played before family members and friends who made the drive — and the ride — across the border. Flynn said he secured tickets for about 25 or 30 folks.
“I heard there’s a bus coming up and a lot of people said they were driving on their own,” Flynn said. “A lot of people are coming, so it’s pretty much a homecoming for me.”
Flynn delivered a 17-point, eight-assist, four-rebound performance that included a couple of clutch fourth-quarter shots in a 94-88 loss to Toronto.
But he also made an ill-advised, poorly aimed behind-the-back pass that Hedo Turkoglu converted into a breakaway dunk for an 86-84 Raptors lead with 90 seconds left.
