The Toronto Raptors ( 18 - 12 ) defeated the Dallas Mavericks ( 15 - 13 ) 103 - 99 on Tuesday night . The Raptors had a big lead early in the fourth quarter and nearly blew it against the Dallas backups . They were able to hold them off , but it was an ugly sight for Toronto fans as they nearly let a 16 - point fourth quarter lead slip away . A win is a win though and the defense was key . The Raptors outrebounded the Mavericks 53 - 34 and held them to just 35 percent shooting through the first three and a half quarters . The starters dominated this game all - around , as only one bench player scored in double - figures for both teams . The Mavericks were bad for most of the game tonight and played well for only 18 minutes . They shot 11 - for - 17 in a 31 - point third quarter , but shot under 42 percent aside from that . The bench players came in for the last six minutes and nearly brought them back from a double - digit deficit , but could n't quite make up for the starters poor play . While The Mavericks did win the turnover battle 17 - 6 , they were killed on the boards . Dirk Nowitzki played just 28 minutes , but tallied 20 points and seven rebounds . Deron Williams left this game in the third with a hamstring injury and that really hurt the team down the stretch . The starters got a nice rest in the final quarter and that should be beneficial for Wednesday 's game against the Brooklyn Nets . All the talk in Toronto has been about their bad starts , but that was n't the problem on Tuesday . They actually ended the first quarter up 32 - 16 and had trouble closing this one out . That 's usually the opposite , as they have one of the best second half differentials in the NBA this season . All the starters played well , as four of them scored at least 15 points with Bismack Biyombo scoring just nine . Biyombo was the star of the night though , as he snatched a career - high 20 rebounds en route to his fifth - straight 13 - plus rebound game . DeMar DeRozan led all scorers with 28 points in the victory . Toronto will have a few days off until they play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday .
