It was Torontos first loss in six games, and first loss at home in whats been a feel-good early-season story.Its a good experience, coming off the win streak. Thats good, Valanciunas said. Make us regroup and be strong in the next game.Kyle Lowry scored 20 points to lead the Raptors (7-2), who coughed up the game with a dreadful third quarter. James Johnson was big off the bench, with 16 points, five rebounds, four steals and four blocks.The third quarter did us in, said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. They got us on our heels and we stayed on our heels.You know thats the kind of game youre going to have against them. Its a hard game to officiate and its a hard game to play.

And the Air Canada Centre dressed up for the occasion, unfurling the giant We the North banner.The noise was reminiscent of last seasons playoff games, but all the ACCs cheering couldnt lift Toronto to a victory.Lowry said the game was a good gauge of where the Raptors are at — and where they need to get to.Just know thats what weve got to get up to, that physicality, that type of defensive intensity, that type of offence that they could go to a couple of different guys who could take over games at different points, Lowry said.Torontos all-star DeMar DeRozan struggled through another uncharacteristically low-scoring night, making just three of 17 shots for 10 points.Its fine, Im not worried about it at all, DeRozan said.

I overstepped, just stretched out a little bit more with my left leg. It just comes with the process I guess of missing two years.The two teams were evenly matched through a first quarter that saw eight lead changes, and neither team lead by more than three points.
