Norman Powell scored 21 points off the bench, both Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry chipped in 12 points and eight assists, and Serge Ibaka scored 18 points as the Toronto Raptors asserted dominance over the third-place Indiana Pacers on Sunday evening, improving to 30-12 on the season.
Unlike their last meeting — where the Pacers held a huge lead in the fourth quarter, only to lose grip — the Raptors flipped the script and dominated most of the final frame and did not let go.
If Kyle Lowry is hurt, he sure didn’t look like it in the first quarter — he took a charge, hit a three, hit the floor for a loose ball and overall looked like the player we remember from November.
