TORONTO -- DeMar DeRozan had 30 points and five rebounds and the Toronto Raptors overcame some early sloppiness to defeat the Atlanta Hawks 104-96 Thursday night.
Toronto turned the ball over nine times before the game was 13 minutes old, but did a much better job of holding onto it the rest of the way in winning its second straight and 14th of 15 at home.
The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Hawks, who wrapped up a five-game road trip.
Kyle Lowry had 19 points and seven assists for the Raptors while Luis Scola had 10 points and 12 rebounds and Jonas Valanciunas scored in double digits for a career-high 16th time and added 10 rebounds.
