Lowry leads Raptors to 95-91 win over skidding Trail Blazers
PORTLAND, Ore. — No matter what city they visit lately, the Toronto Raptors feel right at home.
Kyle Lowry scored 27 points and the Raptors won their franchise-best seventh consecutive road game Monday night with a 95-91 victory over the skidding Portland Trail Blazers.
It was the second stop on Toronto’s six-game swing out West, which will take the Raptors (22-8) to tough places such as Golden State and San Antonio.
But home or road these days, Toronto is proving to be a very difficult opponent. Though the Raptors’ usually prolific offence was slowed by Portland’s trapping defence, they found a way to pull out a highly competitive game in which neither team led by more than six points.
