The Toronto Raptors welcomed back Kyle Lowry to the team, then shot the ball like he had to win the game by himself. After a painful 40 minutes, the Raptors overcome a deficit which had ballooned to 20 points in Q2, and gutted out a win.

In a blinding flash of the obvious, coach Dwane Casey left Jonas Valanciunas on the floor.
