Holiday shines as Pacers edge Raptors in overtime

Aaron Holiday finished with 19 points and made two clutch three-pointers in overtime as the Indiana Pacers snapped the Toronto Raptors five-game winning streak with a 120-115 win on Monday.

Myles Turner and TJ Warren also had 24 points each, and Holiday added 10 assists in the win over the injury-depleted Raptors who were coming off their biggest comeback win in franchise history.

“It’s a big win for us,” said Holiday, who finished with 19 points in getting the start at point guard for the injured Malcolm Brogdon. “It’s fun playing with emotion, especially in big games.” Kyle Lowry had 30 points and nine assists for Toronto, who defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday after trailing by 30 points in the third quarter.

“We gutted it out, we played our butts off and gave ourselves a chance to win at the end,” Lowry said of the Raptors.“unfortunately, we came up short.” But the Raptors, who were missing several starters, ran out of gas on Monday in front of the crowd of 17,100 at

Bankers Life Fieldhouse arena in Indianapolis.

This time, Toronto was forced to come back from a 15-point deficit but couldn’t pull out the victory.

Domantas Sabonis scored 12 points and grabbed 17 rebounds for Indiana. Jeremy Lamb and TJ Mcconnell both had 12 points. Lamb missed the two previous games with a groin problem.

Serge Ibaka had 23 points and nine rebounds, Fred Vanvleet contributed 21 points and 11 assists, and OG Anunoby scored 15 points and 12 rebounds for Toronto.
