It wasn’t a pretty shooting night for the Raptors, but they were able to make some noise of their own. DeMar DeRozan shot 6 of 25 from the field, but was able to finish with 22 points, 4 steals, and a highlight reel dunk in the first half.

Rudy Gay lead the 4th quarter surge from the Raptors, finishing with a team high 29 points, while adding 10 rebounds. His incredible 3-pointer over the arms of Parsons in the 1st overtime session extended the game for 5 more minutes.

In the end, it was Jeremy Lin’s big performance off the bench that helped the Rockets close out the game. Lin didn’t record an assist, but lead the team with 31 points, including 9 in the overtime sessions.
