TORONTO - Having just given up a three-pointer and trailing by 11 points late in the first half Tuesday, Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey called a timeout. Kyle Lowry took the ball and spiked it hard to the ground in frustration. Lowry drew on that frustration to lift the Raptors to a 104-100 victory over the Orlando Magic, extending their Eastern Conference-leading record to 7-1. Theyre a perfect 5-0 at the Air Canada Centre. On a night that saw Toronto trail almost the entire game, Lowry grabbed two huge rebounds in the final 90 seconds, then drew a foul and drained a pair of free throws to give the Raptors a three-point lead in the victory. Lowry finished with 19 points while Terrence Ross poured in 17 more. DeMar DeRozan added 16, Lou Williams had 14, and Amir Johnson and Patrick Patterson chipped in with 12 points apiece. Evan Fournier led the Magic (2-6) with 24 points, while Tobias Harris added 23, and Channing Frye finished with 19. The Raptors, wearing their camouflage uniforms in honour of Remembrance Day, were coming off two solid defensive efforts in wins over Washington and Philadelphia. But their poor defensive habits were back with a vengeance as the Raptors fell behind by double digits early to the Magic, and trailed almost the entire game. Trailing Orlando 83-72 to begin the fourth quarter, the Raptors finally showed some life. Williams scored eight points in less than four minutes and then Pattersons three with 6:36 to go put the Raptors up 90-88 (Torontos first lead since 14-13). A basket by Harris pulled the Magic to within a point with 55 seconds to play, but a free throw by Patterson, followed by a miss by Harris, clinched Torontos victory. The Magic shot 48 per cent on the night to Torontos 46. Toronto had a narrow 40-39 advantage on the boards. The Raptors poor start on the defensive end showed in the Magics 58 per cent shooting in the first quarter. Frye hit all three of his three-point attempts in the frame, and Orlando took a 32-24 advantage into the second. A three by Fournier put the Magic up 60-49 with a minute to go in the second half, Orlandos biggest lead of the game to that point. The visitors went into the dressing room at halftime up 60-51. The Raptors pulled to within seven points midway through the third, but two possessions later the Magic was back up by 11, and took an 83-72 lead into the fourth. The Raptors host Chicago on Thursday and Utah on Saturday. NOTES: Torontos Landry Fields missed the game (flu). . .

Kadri had a goal and an assist in regulation time as the Toronto Maple Leafs edged the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in the shootout in an NHL pre-season game in London, Ont. "Im from here and I just dont want to disappoint, I guess," said Kadri, who had 20 goals and 30 assists last season. "Production will be hugely important for me this year. Im an offensive player. My goal is also to become a player who is the whole package. I think I was better on the draws today and working coming back in my own end." David Booth was the lone scorer in the shootout. Booth, who had nine goals and 19 points with Vancouver last season, joined the Leafs in the off-season on a one-year deal signed in July. Matt Read and Michael Raffl built a 2-0 lead for the Flyers, who were the home team in this contest for line changes. Kadris goal late in the second period shifted the momentum for Toronto. He then set up Tom Nilsson for the tying goal 1:39 into the third period. Kadri sent a cross-ice pass to defenceman Nilsson breaking off the point and a one-timer beat Flyers goalie Anthony Stolarz. Stolarz is no stranger to London either, having played for the Ontario Hockey Leagues London Knights before Philadelphia selected him in the second round of the 2012 draft. Stolarz stopped 29 of 31 shots over 65 minutes. Starter Christopher Gibson stopped 11 of 12 in 31 minutes for Toronto, while Cal Heeter allowed a goal early in his second-half duty but recovered to be the winning goalie with 11 saves also on a dozen shots, plus three more saves in the shootout. "I think I came in a little cold.dddddddddddd I was pretty flat-footed on that first goal (by Raffl)," admitted Heeter, who played in the Flyers system last year, including one appearance with Philadelphia and 44 more with the American Hockey Leagues Adirondack Phantoms. "I competed and battled well," said Heeter, who wore Flyers pads. "It wasnt the smoothest or best game Ive played. I was a little choppy at times with my movement and on some rebounds." It would appear Heeter, Gibson, Antoine Bibeau and Garret Sparks will battle for the two positions with the Toronto Marlies, with Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer owning the Leafs crease. Nick Cousins, who had 11 goals and 18 assists last season for the Phantoms, hopes to earn a full-time promotion as he contributed assists on both Philadelphia goals. Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle saw Torontos first pre-season game as a chance to assess his teams new defensive systems. "Its all about how well we did on working on the three things we are asking our players to concentrate on," said Carlyle. "Were working on defensive zone coverage, fore-checking systems, and play in the neutral zone. Carlyle said it was a chance for his new coaching staff to integrate with the Leafs players. "We really are not doing a lot of things drastically different, but we are working on some ideas with our new group of coaches here," said Carlyle, referring to new assistants Steve Spott and Peter Horachek. The two teams will meet again on Tuesday at Torontos Air Canada Centre at 7 p.m. ET. The Flyers other split squad edged the Washington Capitals 5-4 in Philadelphia on Monday. ' ' '
