DeMar DeRozan sits, Patrick Patterson limps off, Kyle Lowry misfires, Raps fall to Orlando for second time in a week.
ORLANDO, FLA.—The injury issues remain, the absences linger and the Toronto Raptors continue to search for a consistently effective second unit as they lurch through the middle third of a long NBA season.
With Kyle Lowry suffering through an uncharacteristically bad shooting night, DeMar DeRozan once again out with a sore right ankle and Patrick Patterson unable to play the final 40 minutes, the Raptors were beaten 102-94 by the Orlando Magic on Friday as Toronto’s swoon continues unabated.
