OKLAHOMA CITY—The shots that hadn’t been going in did, and the ball zipped side to side as all the things that had been troubling the Toronto Raptors through the infancy of the NBA season disappeared, if only for one night.
DeMar DeRozan exploded for 37 points, Kyle Lowry made five three-pointers and Lucas Nogueira infused the team with some infectious energy as the Raptors upset the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-102 here Wednesday night.
DeRozan and Lowry keyed an impressive finish by the Raptors, who looked to be hanging on after a 14-point lead had been shaved to five with about seven minutes left.
