Raptors fend off late Mavs rally
Print Edition
TORONTO guard DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 28 points and the Raptors held off a late rally to beat visiting Dallas 103-99 Tuesday in an NBA thriller.
Raptors guard Kyle Lowry added 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists while center Bismack Biyombo scored nine points and grabbed a career-best 20 rebounds and Luis Scola added 15 points and nine rebounds for Toronto.
“They all came up big,” DeRozan said. “We needed everybody tonight.”
The Raptors never trailed, up by as many as 18 points in the first quarter and well ahead when the Mavericks brought in a reserve unit with barely five minutes remaining.
The Mavericks battled back and trailed by only two points with 11.6 seconds to play on a Jeremy Evans layup, but Evans missed a free throw and Toronto’s Terrence Ross made two free throws, the last of his 16 points, to finish the scoring.
“It was a big win,” DeRozan said. “We finished ugly but we got a big win. We knew they were going to make a run but we were able to withstand it.”
German star forward Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 20 points and seven rebounds. He stands 10 points shy of passing Shaquille O’Neal for sixth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
O’Neal’s beloved Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 21-point first-half deficit to win 111-107 at the Denver Nuggets, with Kobe Bryant scoring 31 points to tie his season high after missing a game to rest a sore right shoulder.
In other National Basketball Association games on Tuesday, it was: Grizzlies 104, 76ers 90; and Pistons 93, Heat 92.
