DeRozan scores 27 as Raptors beat Rockets 129-113
HOUSTON — The Toronto Raptors have struggled to close out games against good teams this season.
They solved that Tuesday night, getting 27 points from DeMar DeRozan while holding off the Rockets 129-113 despite a couple late runs by Houston.
Just as important, DeRozan thinks he knows the key for Toronto holding leads going forward.
“Liking this feeling,” he said. “You’ve got to love this feeling so you don’t got to go out there having too many of them close games that you lost, feeling upset, got to wait until the next game. You’ve got to want to continue to have this feeling and that should work out everything else.”
