Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Mar, 2018 ) :The Toronto Raptors withstood a late surge from Houston to halt the Rockets' 17-game NBA winning streak with a 108-105 victory Friday in a clash of conference leaders.
Kyle Lowry scored 30 points and DeMar DeRozan added 23 for the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors, who have already secured a playoff berth. James Harden scored 40 points for the Rockets, who came into the game with the best record in the league but were out-scored 32-16 in the first quarter and trailed by as many as 19 in the first half.
"We were maybe surprised by the intensity or whatever," admitted Houston coach Mike D'Antoni, whose Rockets hadn't lost since January 26. "We didn't quite come out with what we had the last three quarters." Despite the defeat, the Rockets maintained a half-game lead over Golden State atop the Western Conference after the reigning NBA champion Warriors were beaten 125-108 by the Trail Blazers in Portland.
Houston trailed by 15 at halftime and were down by 17 with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter.
