Raptors edge Pacers in wild Game 5 thriller

The rookie guarding the all-star, the two-point-guard lineup, the starting centre on the bench alongside the defensive stopper, and the guy inserted into the starting lineup to change things sitting there as well.

There have been many wild nights in the history of the Toronto Raptors. None may top what happened in a frenzied Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.

Riding a never-seen-before group of Kyle Lowry, Cory Joseph, DeMar DeRozan, Norman Powell and Bismack Biyombo, the Raptors salvaged a game and perhaps a season with a stunning 102-99 victory over the Indiana Pacers to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff series.
