The Toronto Raptors (34 - 17) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (33 - 18) 123 - 107 on Friday. DeMar DeRozan was just shy of a triple - double, finishing with 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists along with two steals, leading the Raptors in all four of those categories. James Johnson made his return to the Toronto lineup. He had been dealing with a hamstring issue that forced him to miss the last four games. Johnson had 16 points in 19 minutes off the bench. He was n't the only one filling it up off the bench, as Lou Williams put up 18 points to go along with five assists. Toronto has won seven of its last nine, and sits in second place in the Eastern Conference standings The Clippers got off to a 30 - 10 start but could n't hold off a hot Raptors team that went on to out score Los Angeles 113 - 77 over the final 38:33. Los Angeles appears be dealing with some bugs around the locker room, as Hedo Turoglu was unavailable Friday due to a stomach virus and DeAndre Jordan left the game in the third quarter with flu - like symptoms. Jordan did return to play another eight minutes and finished the game with nine points and seven rebounds. The Clippers are 0 - 3 thus far in February. Next up, the Raptors will host the Spurs on Sunday, and the Clippers will head to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder, also on Sunday.
