Regular Season Round 145: Detroit P. - Toronto R. 82-99
Date: March 29, 2013
AUBURN HILLS, MICH. DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay scored 21 points apiece and the Toronto Raptors ended a five-game skid with a 99-82 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. The Raptors led 46-45 at the break and took control by outscoring Detroit 23-5 in the first eight minutes of the third period. Gay, who had just two points at halftime, scored 19 points during the third. Amir Johnson added 20 points, including 10 during the second period that helped the Raptors take the lead for good. Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Kyle Lowry added 11 assists. Jonas Jerebko scored 20 points to lead the Pistons, who also got 17 from rookie Andre Drummond in their eighth straight home loss. Detroit made just six field goals in the third and often couldn’t seem to find Gay once he got hot. The Pistons turned the ball over four times in the third and Toronto turned the miscues into nine points. Detroit ended the game with 13 giveaways. Drummond, who missed 22 games with a stress fracture in his lower back, made his first career start. Kyle Singler added 13 points and Greg Monroe added 11 and 13 rebounds, as Detroit fell for the 12th time in its last 13 games. It was the first time the Raptors played against Pistons point guard Jose Calderon since the Jan. 30 trade that sent Prince to Memphis and Gay to Toronto In other action last night: LeBron James scored 36 points, hitting six consecutive 3-pointers in less than six minutes during the first half, and the Miami Heat rebounded from their first loss in nearly two months to beat the New Orleans Hornets 108-89 on Friday night. The Heat, whose 27-game winning streak ended in Chicago on Wednesday, looked ready to start a new one while clinching the top seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. James kept shooting 3-pointers after making his first one with 1:55 left in the first quarter, and he did not miss until he already had set a season high with his sixth. James finished with seven 3s, one shy of his career high. Dwyane Wade added 17 points and seven assists. Norris Cole scored 12 points and Chris Bosh 10. Ryan Anderson had 20 points off the bench for the Hornets. Eric Gordon scored 17, and Al-Farouq Aminu tied his career high with 16 rebounds. After his fifth 3, which gave the Heat a 42-27 lead, James walked by himself along the side of the court, raising his arm over his head to ask for applause, which he received along with a smattering of boos. Most of the 3s were face-up shots from a few feet behind the arc when no one challenged him, respecting his driving ability. The last was a pull-up from the side with no space, as if he wanted to find out exactly how hot he was. Nothing but net. He finally missed two in a row on the Heat’s next possession, but by then they already led 47-27. James also hit a pair of 2-pointers during the torrid stretch, scoring a season-high 28 points in the first half as Miami went ahead 60-43. His teammates were nearly as hot. The Heat shot a season-best 69.7 per cent for any half, hitting 23 of 33 shots, and their 60.9 per cent for the game was their highest of the year, too, and the highest allowed by the Hornets. Miami made 14 of 27 3-pointers. Miami led by as much as 27 points in the second half, and New Orleans never came closer than the halftime margin of 17. James was content to distribute, throwing a perfect pass to Bosh for an alley-oop that capped a 10-2 run at the start of the third quarter. Courtesy of: The Associated Press
