IT WAS OVER WHEN
DeMar DeRozan made a pair of free throws with 30 seconds remaining to put the Raptors ahead by seven points. Although C.J. McCollum would hit a pull-up jumper to get the Blazers within five, they would not get any closer as Toronto picked up a 112-106 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers.
LOWRY SIDELINED
The Raptors were without Kyle Lowry for the second consecutive game because of a sore right wrist. Dwane Casey discussed his point guard’s availability prior to the game, saying that Lowry’s official status would be day-to-day and that he would be treated symptomatically.
