Result:
WIN

Toronto has gotten over the mental block of losing seven straight playoff games after a 98-87 win in Game 2. They got the win even though their star players Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were a combined 9-of-31 from the field. Jonas Valanciunas led the Raptors with 23 points and 15 rebounds and the Toronto defense held Indiana to a .414 field goal percentage. Paul George scored 28 points for the Pacers, but didn't get much help with Monta Ellis the only other player in double figures with 15 points. Toronto has covered the spread eight of the last nine meetings in Indiana, including a 101-94 overtime win on March 17 when Lowry and DeRozan each scored 28 points and Valanciunas was out with an injury. DeRozan will try to be more aggressive on offense in this matchup as he did not attempt a free throw in Game 2 and Valanciunas will continue to dominate in the middle. Take the road team Raptors.
