DeMar DeRozan leads Raptors to 6th straight win
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Dwane Casey’s 500th career game as Toronto’s coach had plenty of moments to go sideways, especially after his team let a 15-point lead slip away in the first half.
DeMar DeRozan’s decision to be more aggressive in the third quarter kept the Raptors on track and they extended their longest winning streak of the season.
DeRozan scored 13 of his 25 points in the third quarter and Toronto held off the Sacramento Kings 102-87 on Sunday for its sixth straight victory.
Kyle Lowry added 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on an off-night shooting, Serge Ibaka scored 20 points, and C.J. Miles had 11 for the Raptors. They won for the first time in Sacramento since 2014.
