When Raptors rookie Jorge Garbajosa smoothly knocked down a 24-foot jump shot, Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo leaned over and gave his assistant GM Maurizio Gherardini a hearty congratulatory slap on the back.

Garbajosa was one of the highlights of Toronto's intrasquad game Saturday, as the Raptors unveiled their new look to a sold-out crowd of 4,000 fans at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Centre.

``After five days of practice, I'm happy where we are,'' said Raptors coach Sam Mitchell. ``Obviously we've got a lot of room for improvement, we have to start playing games, we've got a lot more stuff we need to add. But I think the way the guys have worked and paid attention, it's starting to come together.''

All-star forward Chris Bosh led scoring in the 40-minute game with 28 points for the black team, debuting a new weapon in his arsenal _ the three-point shot. Bosh knocked down four threes in the game, something he's been dilligently working on since returning to Toronto a few weeks ago.

``Coach told me I could shoot them if I practised them every day so I've been working on my form,'' Bosh said. ``I think it will stretch out the defence a lot more, and those threes add up. But I can't shy away from the things I'm good at, which is driving the basketball, getting my teammates involved.''

The thinking is, if Bosh can score from beyond the arc, opponents will be forced to venture out to guard him.

``So I either have a wide open shot or a wide open lane _ pick your poison,'' Bosh said.

New Raptors point guard T.J. Ford added 24 points for the black team, which defeated the grey team 98-89.

The black team featured what will likely be the Raptors starting lineup _ Ford, Anthony Parker, Morris Peterson, Bosh and Rasho Nesterovic.

Rookie Andrea Bargnani scored 21 points to lead the grey team (the second unit), showing hints of the athleticism that made him the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft.

Garbajosa, who helped Spain to gold at the world championship this past summer, made four three-pointers in scoring 16 points, looking at home in his first NBA action.

``I feel comfortable because playing with these players makes your life easier because they are very good players,'' Garbajosa said. ``I know what is my work though _ I've got to put all my effort, all my concentration every day in trying to be useful to my teammates and to my coaches.''

The scrimmage capped the Raptors' training camp in Waterloo, as the team prepares for the real pre-season action that begins Monday in Washington against the Wizards. The Raptors play host to Boston at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday.

``The game was an opportunity to show the fans how hard we've been working, what type of team we're going to be and what to expect from the season,'' said Ford, who sported an egg on his forehead thanks to a wayward elbow from Fred Jones. ``We're working hard every day, we're improving, I hope that creates a lot of excitement.

``We'll really know where we're at on Monday when we go against another team and have to go against offences that we don't know. That will really test how in tune everybody is, how everybody's focus is.''

With the addition of Ford, Parker, Bargnani, Garbajosa, Jones and P.J. Tucker, the Raptors will be more athletic than they were last season _ that was obvious Saturday _ and the team plans to play a more free-flowing style.

``There were a couple of times we were just moving without the ball, and we got baskets without even calling plays,'' Bosh said. ``We're just playing basketball, and that's the thing I really like about this year. Coach didn't call many plays today, we were just fluid, we were moving, we were sharing the ball and we got easy buckets.''

Mitchell addressed the crowd before the game, saying, ``What you're going to see today isn't a preview of the Toronto Raptors basketball team but Canada's basketball team.''

Mitchell then took a seat at the scoring table to observe, leaving the coaching up to his assistants. Colangelo spent much of the game mingling with the crowd, signing autographs and posing for pictures.

The game raised $42,000 for Waterloo United Way.
