The Charlotte Hornets ( 15 - 10 ) defeated the Toronto Raptors ( 16 - 11 ) 109 - 99 in overtime on Thursday . The Hornets ' prized offseason acquisition , Nicolas Batum , left Wednesday night 's contest versus the Magic with an illness . That same malady extended into Thursday , opening up the starting opportunity for Jeremy Lin . The six - year pro had his best scoring game in over two years , tallying a game - high 35 points on outstanding 13 of 22 shooting from the field . The total included a pair of three - pointers , and was amassed over a robust 47 minutes . Lin 's previous scoring high on the season was 19 points , but the 27 - year - old showed that he is still highly capable of a breakout performance when given extended opportunity . The player who had considerable trouble defending Lin , DeMar DeRozan , nevertheless had a stellar offensive showing of his own . The Raptors ' shooting guard collected a team - high 31 points and added five assists , four rebounds , a steal and a block . The outing was DeRozan 's fifth consecutive game with 20 or more points . His trusty backcourt mate Kyle Lowry pitched in with 20 points , but needed an astounding amount of shot attempts to get there . Lowry was an atrocious 6 of 29 from the field , including 3 for 17 from beyond the arc . Bismack Biyombo and Terrence Ross both provided solid contributions , with the former accumulating a season - high 18 rebounds ( along with eight points ) , and the latter pouring in 17 points on the strength of a season - high five three - pointers . The Raptors fell to 16 - 11 but remain in first place in the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division . They head to Miami to take on the Heat on Friday . Kemba Walker was the second member of the Hornets ' backcourt to spearhead Charlotte 's offensive attack , supporting Lin 's effort with 27 points of his own . He added seven assists , six rebounds , a pair of blocks and a steal . Marvin Williams contributed a 10 - point , 10 - rebound double - double , while P.J . Hairston pitched in with a second straight 14 - point performance that included a season - high four three - pointers . One of those long - range buckets came with 1:30 left in the overtime period and gave the home team a lead they would not relinquish . Spencer Hawes was highly productive off the bench , collecting a modest five points but hauling in an impressive 10 boards . He added four assists , three steals and a block in a highly efficient 23 minutes of action . The Hornets improved to 15 - 10 and currently reside in second place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They head to Washington for a Saturday night showdown with the Wizards .
