Lowry scores 34 points, Raptors rally to beat Celtics 101-94
BOSTON — Not too many teams have been able to outshoot the Raptors this season. The Celtics were the latest to try and fail.
Kyle Lowry scored 21 of his season-high 34 points in the second half to help Toronto hold on for a 101-94 victory over Boston on Friday night.
Toronto erased an eight-point halftime deficit and led by as many as 11 in the fourth quarter. The Celtics pulled within four in the final minute, but Al Horford fouled Lowry on a 3-point attempt with 30 seconds to play. Lowry made all three free throws to help close out the victory.
DeMar DeRozan added 24 points, and Norman Powell had 20. The Raptors have won eight of their last nine.
