INDIANAPOLIS -- In the something's-got-to-give department, two of the hotter teams in the Eastern Conference are set to collide Thursday night.
Heading into its game at Indiana (40-28), Toronto has won nine in a row and 16 of its last 17. The Pacers have won three consecutive games and 21 of their last 30 games.
The conference-leading Raptors (50-17) reached 50 wins for third consecutive season by beating host Brooklyn 116-102 on Tuesday night.
"It's a good milestone for us," Toronto guard Kyle Lowry said. "But we got bigger fish to fry. It's another win, another stepping-stone for our journey.
