Toronto Raptors stun the Boston Celtics, 101-94

The Raptors faced the Celtics for the first time this season, Boston just two games behind Toronto in the east.

Kyle Lowry scored 21 of his season-high 34 points in the second half.

This helped Toronto run to 101-94 victory over Boston Friday night.

Toronto erased an eight-point halftime deficit. They also led by as much as 11 in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics pulled within four points in the final minute, but Al Horford fouled Lowry on a 3-point attempt with only 30 seconds to play.

Lowry was successful on all three free throws to help close out the victory.
