March 16, 2015: In a mid-March home game against the Raptors, the Pacers fell 117-98 behind a swaggering effort from Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry, who nearly completed a triple-double by halftime, finishing the night with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Despite falling behind in the first half, the Pacers used a 14-4 run late in the second quarter to pull within four at the break, but three consecutive Raptors 3-pointers hurt Indiana in the third.
Although it was a 19-point loss, the Pacers committed just four turnovers in the entire game — their season low.
"I thought we had a lot of good looks and moved the ball," Coach Vogel said after the game. "We just had a tough shooting night."
Noteworthy
•The Raptors, despite posting an impressive 49-33 record, were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Washington Wizards.
•Over the offseason, Toronto signed Luis Scola, who had been a member of the Pacers for the previous two seasons. In those two years, Scola missed just one game.
•Indiana lost all three of its games to the Raptors last season, with an average margin of defeat of 14.6 points. The Pacers are currently on a four-game losing streak to Toronto, dating back to April of 2014.
