DeMar DeRozan scores 35 points to lead Raptors past Trail Blazers
TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan dug into his bag of tricks and showed off his long-range game on Friday.
The Raptors guard scored 35 points and matched his career high with six three-pointers as Toronto beat Portland 130-105 for its sixth straight victory over the Trail Blazers.
DeRozan scored 26 of his points in the first half and was 6 of 10 from three-point range.
“DeMar came out of his three-point bag and was making shots,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “That’s the difference in the game, vault up and shoot shots with conviction, play with force, play with pace and we stayed with our triggers and played through our continuity stuff and found the right person.”
