Raptors wrap up first East crown with record win over Pacers

DeMar DeRozan remembers too many losses and too many struggles and too much disappointment not to revel in being with a Toronto Raptors team that once again has made franchise history.

In his ninth season, a career that included an ugly 22-win second campaign, DeRozan has now seen the best year ever as the Raptors routed the Indiana Pacers 92-73 on a history-making Friday night at the Air Canada Centre.

“Whenever you do something that hasn’t been done, it’s always an accomplishment that speaks volumes to the work that’s been put in, the sacrifices, the (failures) and what you work for when nobody’s watching,” DeRozan said before the home team blew out Indiana.
