TORONTO -- While the Toronto Raptors are trying to improve their position in the playoff seedings, the Indiana Pacers are trying to hold on to what they have.
Both teams will be coming off disappointing losses on Wednesday when they meet Friday night at the Air Canada Centre.
The Raptors (45-30) were outscored 44-32 in the fourth quarter in losing 110-106 to the Charlotte Hornets to remain fourth in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the Washington Wizards, who also lost Wednesday. The defeat ended Toronto's six-game winning streak, which matched a season best.
