Raptors roll to 9-1 home mark

-

Kyle Lowry had 20 points and 10 assists, DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points and the Raptors beat the Phoenix Suns, 126-113, last night in Toronto, improving their NBAbest home record to 9-1.

Suns guard Devin Booker had to be carried off the floor by two teammates after suffering an apparent leg injury with 2:40 remaining and Phoenix trailing by 11. Booker froze in pain while playing defense and did not move as trainers came out to examine him.

Booker, who shook off a 2-for-11 start to score a season-high 46 points Monday in a win at Philadelph­ia, shot 0-for-7 in the first half last night. He finished 4-for15 with 19 points, including 10-of-12 from the foul line.

Serge Ibaka scored 19 points and OG Anunoby matched his career high with 16 as Toronto won its fourth straight.

Greg Monroe had 11 points and 10 rebounds as the weary Suns wrapped up a six-game, 10-day road trip with their seventh of 15 back-to-backs this season. Phoenix is 3-4 in the second game of back-to-backs.

Alex Len scored 13 points and Troy Daniels and Josh Jackson each had 13 for Phoenix, which went 2-4 on its trip.

Thunder 100, Jazz 94 — Russell Westbrook scored 34 points in his seventh tripledoub­le of the season, and host Oklahoma City rallied from 17 points down in the second half to defeat Utah.

Westbrook finished with 14 assists and 13 rebounds. Paul George scored 21 points, Steven Adams had 20 points and nine rebounds and Carmelo Anthony added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who won their third straight.

Rookie Donovan Mitchell scored 31 for the Jazz.

Wizards 106, Trail Blazers 92 — Bradley Beal scored a career-high 51 points, and visiting Washington Wizards bounced back from a demoralizi­ng loss against Utah the night before to beat Portland.

Elsewhere in the NBA — Stephen Curry will miss a minimum of two weeks after an MRI exam on his injured right ankle revealed a sprain.

The Golden State Warriors leading scorer and two-time league MVP will be re-evaluated in two weeks. That means Curry is out for tonight’s game in his hometown of Charlotte, where the MRI took place.

Curry stepped on E’Twaun Moore’s foot and landed awkwardly on the ankle while going for a late steal in a 125-115 comeback win Monday night at New Orleans and left the arena using crutches and wearing a walking boot.
