With the big win over the Western Conference leading Rockets, the Raptors extended their winning streak to seven games. They sit with a 2.5 lead over the Celtics for first place in the East after winning 14-of-15 games.
DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 53 points in the win to push the Raptors to a league best 28-5 on home court.
Here’s some of the best reaction from around the basketball world and the internet.
Raptors vs the Rockets this season: 2-0.

The Rockets’ 17-game win streak ends with a 108-105 loss at Toronto. Respect to James Harden and the flying Rockets on their long win streak. Don’t sleep on the Raptors either. The Warriors take lead in West with win at Portland tonight.

Raptors snap Rockets 17-game winning streak, Lowry with 30 (7-9 from three), DeRozan 23, JV 14/10 clutch FTs and late-game defence.
Harden led Rockets with 40.
Raps shoot 15-38 from three, Rockets 9-27.
HELL OF A GAME.
The Rockets made a furious comeback, but I guess a Raptors win was
