NBA Raptors halt Rockets’ 17-game winning streak LeBron’s 25 not enough for Cavaliers
Updates with new lead.
DeMar DeRozan put Toronto ahead before the Raptors got three straight stops, and Kyle Lowry put Toronto up four with two free throws with 10.7 seconds left.
James Harden scored 40 points for the Rockets, who came into the game with the best record in the league but were out-scored 32-16 in the first quarter and trailed by as many as 19 in the first half.
In addition, Drake also sat down with the announcers during the game and talked about his Vitamin C-diet that he was on tonight and that he saw James Harden out the night before drinking Mai Tai's. "Same swagger. Nothing changed". DeRozan, Lowry, starting center Jonas Valanciunas and coach Dwane Casey have been together since 2012. "They did everything we asked them to do". "By the looks of it, tonight this win streak is over", Drake correctly called. "We tried to take away one of their strengths".
Paul Millsap drained a big 3-pointer with 1:43 remaining as part of his 21-point performance in the Nuggets' 125-116 downing of the Lakers. "We didn't have a whole lot of them, but we didn't make them". Chris Paul and Gordon each added 14 points.
Whatever he said didn't seem to have much of an effect on Ariza, who was able to inbound the ball, get it back and eventually find Harden, who airballed a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer. After Griffin's tying bank shot, the Raptors' inbound pass went out of bounds off a Toronto player around midcourt with 0.3 seconds to play. "Just got to make that 3".
Dillon Brooks led Memphis with 18 points, and Ben McLemore finished with 14.

Lowry got hot early and poured in 13 points in the in the first period. It was Toronto that out-ran Houston in fast break points (19-14) and points off turnovers (26-12). "We didn't quite come out with what we had the last three quarters". Harden missed a corner 3 that would have sliced the deficit to five early in the third quarter only for Serge Ibaka to respond with a 3-pointer and a 64-53 Toronto lead. It was a missed opportunity for the Rockets and the nine-time All-Star lamented the play after the game.
Pistons: F Stanley Johnson missed the game because of back spasms.
The big difference in this game, however, had to be the strong start from the Raptors who held the best offence in the National Basketball Association to 16 points in the first quarter. Wright initially suffered the injury in Tuesday's home win over Atlanta. It was one of Houston's lowest-scoring quarters of the season.
"I knew him when he didn't have a lick of hair on his face", DeRozan said at shootaround.
Toronto became the first team in the league to clinch a playoff spot after a nail-biting 121-119 win at Detroit on Wednesday night.
In the closing seconds of Friday night's loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Rockets had a chance to tie the score.
Without the 6-foot-10 Davis' ability to affect opponents' shots or prolong Pelicans possession with offensive rebounds, New Orleans looked overmatched on the boards.
