Raptors’ defence has Rockets fizzling

HOUSTON—With no time to practice amid a heavy part of the NBA schedule, the Toronto Raptors have been trying to fix a broken defence with constant film sessions.

Seems they were paying attention.

Harrassing the Houston Rockets into a turnover-filled performance, and disrupting shooters well enough to force a good three-point shooting team into an atrocious game, the Raptors registered a 115-102 victory here Wednesday night.

It evened Toronto’s record on its five-game road trip at 2-2 with the rubber game Friday in Milwaukee. The victory also ended a two-game Raptors losing streak and put them at 9-6 on the season.
