The Toronto Raptors (23 - 7) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (20 - 11) 110 - 98 on Saturday. Toronto has won seven of their last eight games. Kyle Lowry continues to carry the weight for the Raptors with DeMar DeRozan (adductor) still sidelined. Lowry posted a game - high 25 points to go with seven assists and three steals. Jonas Valanciunas helped him with 22 points of his own, for his second consecutive 20 - point game. Landry Fields (concussion) missed his third straight game, but he appears close to returning, and DeRozan is travelling with the team on their road trip which could mean he is nearing a return. Los Angeles has lost three of their last four as they hit one of the tougher bumps in their schedule. DeAndre Jordan worked the glass for his third 20 - plus rebound game in the last two weeks. The Clippers gave up 20 easy points on 14 turnovers, pointing to their greatest weakness Saturday and the primary reason for their loss. Spencer Hawes missed his ninth straight game with a bone bruise in his knee, and while some reports suggest he's close to returning, if George Hill's bone bruise in his knee was any clue, Hawes could miss considerably more time. Hill, of the Indiana Pacers, missed nearly two months with the injury after initially being projected to only miss about three weeks.
