Demar DeRozan has 37 points, Raptors beat Suns 115-109
PHOENIX — DeMar DeRozan had already matched his season high with 37 points. With his team up four in the closing seconds, he was needed on the defensive end.
DeRozan forced T.J. Warren to take a difficult one-handed floater from 12 feet out, and with the miss the Toronto Raptors sealed a 115-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.
“I’m just understanding tendencies,” DeRozan said. “We did a great job, we got the rebound and we made our free throws.”
The Raptors have won seven of eight, and at 18-8 tied the second-best start in team history through 26 games.
