IT WAS OVER WHEN
a running three from Kyle Lowry at the buzzer was off the mark. After trailing by 10 points with 4:34 remaining, Lowry helped put the Raptors in a position to win, but Memphis collected a 101-99 victory behind a 42-point effort from Marc Gasol. The loss was Toronto’s fifth straight.
WEATHERING THE STORM
The Raptors were at a loss trying to slow Marc Gasol early as the Grizzlies big man scored 16 quick points in the first three minutes of the game. Toronto kept pushing though, and managed to bounce back from a 10-point deficit in the first quarter to lead by two after the opening 12 minutes.
