The Toronto Raptors defeated the Denver Nuggets 105 - 102 at Air Canada Centre on Monday . Through the season 's first two games , Kyle Lowry could n't seem to find the bottom of the net , shooting just 8 - for - 29 from the fiedl . Backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan , meanwhile , was playing like a man fully deserving of the $ 139 million commitment the Raptors ( 2 - 1 ) made in him this past offseason . Monday , it all came together for the talented guard duo , as they combined for a 62 - point tally to spearhead Toronto in a victory that was in doubt until the final buzzer . Danilo Gallinari 's last - gasp three - point heave nearly found the basket as the clock hit double zeros , but the Raptors averted overtime and won their second home game in three tries . A trio of 16 - point efforts from Gallinari , Will Barton and Emmanuel Mudiay paced the scoring output for the Nuggets ( 1 - 2 ) on the night . Gallinari did a lot of his damage from the free - throw line , where he converted all eight attempts , and was just 3 - for - 11 from the field . Jusuf Nurkic was dominant down low , notching 13 points , 18 rebounds , an assist , five blocks and a steal . Frontcourt mate Nikola Jokic turned in a solid 12 points , along with four boards and an assist . Jameer Nelson paced the bench with a 13 - point effort . DeRozan 's 33 points led the Raptors , a scoring total he supplemented with five rebounds , an assist and a steal . Lowry followed with a season - high 29 points and added seven assists , five rebounds and three steals . His final points of the night , a driving layup with 45 seconds remaining , also gave Toronto a little breathing room by extending the lead to 105 - 102 . Jonas Valanciunas continued his strong early - season play with 12 points , nine boards , an assist and a block , while DeMarre Carroll supplied 10 points , a pair of rebounds and a block . The Nuggets next head to Minnesota for a Thursday showdown with the Timberwolves , while the Raptors hit the road for the first time this season . Toronto will face off with Golden State in Oakland on Wednesday . Kyle Lowry shook off his early - season doldrums to supply a 29 - point effort , which when combined with backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan 's 33 points , represented nearly 60 percent of the Raptors ' scoring on the night . Four-fifths of the starting five was sharp from the field , as Jonas Valanciunas and DeMarre Carroll joined the dynamic guard duo to generate a collective 52 percent ( 33 - for - 63 ) success rate . Notably , DeRozan and Lowry combined for 19 of Toronto 's 25 free - throw attempts and were the only members of the first unit to visit the charity stripe . The Nuggets enjoyed another strong performance from Jusuf Nurkic , who hauled in 18 rebounds and is now averaging 11 boards per contest . All five members of Denver 's first unit managed double - digit scoring for the second straight game , and the two teams combined for just 16 turnovers .
