Raptors rout Pacers to tune up for Bucks

Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors tuned up for their showdown with Milwaukee by pounding the visiting Indiana Pacers.

Lowry had 16 points and 11 assists, extending his career-best streak of double-doubles to six, and Toronto hammered Indiana 127-81 on Sunday, the most lopsided victory in Raptors history. Indiana’s 81 points were the fewest by a Toronto opponent this season.

Pascal Siakam scored 21 points and Serge Ibaka had 15 points and a season-high 15 rebounds as Toronto won for the 17th time in 18 games and extended its home winning streak to nine.

That streak will be tested when Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks come north of the border Tuesday night, the first of three meetings between the teams down the stretch. The NBA leaders have won seven of eight and became the first team to clinch a playoff spot.

“They’re a well-coached team, they’re a well-oiled machine,” Lowry said. “All we can do is worry about ourselves.”

Pacers guard Victor Oladipo sat out because of back spasms. Oladipo left Friday’s road win over the New York Knicks after three quarters because of a sore back, and he didn’t practice Saturday.
