Rap Rooks Take Spotlight Against Pacers

TORONTO - No DeMar DeRozan, no Kyle Lowry. No problem for the Toronto Raptors.

With DeRozan, Lowry and Luis Scola taking the night off to rest, the Raptors downed the Indiana Pacers 111-98 on Friday, in a potential first-round playoff preview.

Raptors rookie Norman Powell scored a career-high 27 points, while Delon Wright added 19, and Cory Joseph finished with 18 points and nine assists. Terrence Ross chipped in with 14 points for Toronto (53-26), while Jonas Valanciunas had 10.

Joseph played in a facemask, looking like something out of ``Mad Max,'' after being in the face by an accidental Jonas Valanciunas elbow the previous night.
