The Toronto Raptors ( 46 - 21 ) took down the Indiana Pacers ( 36 - 32 ) in overtime on Thursday , winning 101 - 94 . Center Bismack Biyombo recorded a career - high and franchise - record 25 rebounds to lead the team to victory . Needless to say , Toronto was merciless on the glass , outrebounding Indiana 57 - 48 . While Biyombo was the game 's biggest story , shattering his personal rebounding record while also scoring 16 points on just six field goal attempts and recording a pair of blocks , All-Star Kyle Lowry also had a big night . Lowry scored 28 points and neared a triple - double , also recording eight rebounds and eight assists . Fellow All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan matched Lowry 's scoring while getting to the free - throw line 12 times . All in all it was a big night for the Raptors , who were able to walk away victorious despite an abysmal 36 percent shooting night . The team has surpassed all expectations , rivaling the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top of the Eastern Conference headed down the stretch . After Thursday 's win , Toronto sits just two games out of the number one spot . The Pacers , meanwhile , had an equally horrific shooting night , going just 39 percent from the field . Star Paul George led the way with 18 points and nine rebounds , but no one Pacer took over the game in the way Biyombo and the Raptors backcourt were able to . Guard Monta Ellis came up with four big steals and dished out seven assists , but shot just 3 - for - 11 on the night . The loss puts Indiana more firmly in the seventh slot in the Eastern Conference , and Thursday 's matchup looks as though it may be a playoff preview if seeding remains constant for the rest of the season . Toronto will host the ailing Boston Celtics on Friday , while Indiana will see the powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday .
