CLEVELAND -- With his team in trouble, DeMar DeRozan flashed his All-Star form
at the finish.

scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, and the Toronto Raptors won
for the sixth time in seven games with a 99-93 victory over the injury-riddled
Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. "DeMar was huge down the stretch," Toronto
coach Dwane Casey said. "He made shots, he made plays, he made some free
throws." DeRozan also made a key defensive play with the Raptors leading 94-91
and 32 seconds remaining. He stole a pass from Spencer Hawes by knocking
Tyler Zeller to the floor and then made two free throws for a five-point lead.
"I dont have too many of those left in me," DeRozan said of the hard hit. "I
kind of anticipated that." Terrence Ross hit a 3-pointer with 3:02 remaining to
put Toronto ahead 90-89. DeRozan dunked on a baseline drive and added two free
throws to give the Raptors a 94-91 lead with 1:23 remaining. Kyrie Irving, who
played 45 minutes and the entire second half because of Clevelands depleted
roster, scored 25 points and had nine assists. Cleveland has lost three straight
after winning six in a row and fell 5 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in
the Eastern Conference. Irving had no problem with coach Mike Browns decision to
leave him in the game. "I told Coach Im willing to do whatever it takes for us
to get a win," Irving said after playing a career high in a 48-minute game. The
Cavaliers again played without centre Anderson Varejao (sore back) and guards
Dion Waiters (hyperextended left knee) and C.J. Miles (sprained left ankle).
Ross scored 19 points while Greivis Vasquez added 15 for the Raptors, who beat
the Cavaliers 98-91 in Toronto on Friday and have won three in a row. Toronto
leads the Atlantic Division and is in third place in the Eastern Conference.
Hawes, making his first start for Cleveland since being acquired from
Philadelphia last week, scored 15 points. Cleveland took its last lead at 89-87
with 3:11 to play on Zellers two free throws, but Ross 3-pointer put Toronto
ahead for good. Irving, the MVP of the All-Star game, was called for charging
into Kyle Lowry in the final minute. The call was upheld after officials viewed
a replay. Irving was bumped on his way to the basket on Clevelands next
possession but no call was made. "Its part of the game," he said of the
officiating. "The refs are going to make their call. Thats their job. You move
on to the next play and the next game. Im going to pick myself up and get ready
for Oklahoma City (Wednesday night)." The Raptors went on a 15-0 run over a span
of 6:46 in the first and second quarters to take a 14-point lead, but Casey was
displeased his team let the Cavaliers get back in the game. "Were nowhere near
where we can walk in a game and expect to win," he said. "All of our games are
grind it out. Were going to see everyones best haymaker. They threw their best
haymaker at us, they played desperate. Give credit to them." The early offensive
struggles were a major reason Brown didnt take Irving out in the second half.
"When I pulled him in the first half we had a little trouble scoring," Brown
said. "I thought he was in a little bit of a groove. Hes our best player so I
wanted to leave him on the floor and see if he could help the second unit
generate some easy baskets." Toronto had a five-point possession in the second
quarter that began when Vasquez hit a 3-pointer. Hawes was called for a foul
when he and Tyler Hansbrough went to the floor. Hawes was then given a technical
for arguing the call, and DeRozan and Hansbrough each made a free throw.
Hansbrough completed another three-point play after DeRozans basket.
Jarrett Jack was called for a foul after Hansbrough was knocked to the floor.
Jack was also hit with a technical. Toronto built a 36-22 lead but Cleveland cut
the margin to 47-41 at halftime and scored the first seven points of the third
quarter to take a one-point lead. NOTES: Brown said it was unlikely that
Varejao, Waiters and Miles would make the trip to Oklahoma City. Varejao has
missed the last seven games while Waiters has been out four straight and Miles
three in a row. Brown said Varejao and Waiters have begun some on-court work.
... Raptors C Jonas Valanciunas had two points in 17 minutes and played only
seven minutes in the second half. ... Zeller started the first six games Varejao
missed.
