TORONTO -- Raptors All-Star
DeMar DeRozan
endured another difficult playoff performance.
With the highest-scoring playoff game of his career,
Jonas Valanciunas
made sure DeRozan's struggles didn't matter.
Valanciunas had 23 points and 15 rebounds,
Kyle Lowry
had 18 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Toronto beat the
Indiana Pacers
98-87 on Monday night. That snapped their postseason losing streak at seven games and evened the series 1-1.
"We've all got to step up," Valanciunas said. "It's not an individual sport. Some nights are tough for Kyle, some nights it's tough for DeMar, tough for me. Everybody has tough times, so everybody has got to pull for each other."
