How the heck did the Toronto Raptors win a game in which their two best players -- Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan -- shot 9-of-31 from the field?
Here’s the statistical explanation:
The rest of the team shot 53 percent from the field (26-of-49) and scored 70 points. Jonas Valanciunas had 23 points and 15 rebounds. He averaged 12.8 points and 9.1 rebounds in the regular season and averages 11 points per game against the Indiana Pacers for his career. The 23 points were two shy of his season high.
