Celts Collpase in Second Half and Fall Short at Toronto

Raptors hold off Celtics 84-79

      TORONTO (AP) - DeMar DeRozan scored 13 of his 22 points in the
third quarter and made four pivotal free throws down the stretch as
the short-handed Toronto Raptors held off the Boston Celtics 84-79
Friday night.

      DeRozan was a perfect 13-for-13 from the line as the Raptors
ended a four-game losing skid despite being without two of their
top players. Big man Andrea Bargnani was shut down for the rest of
2011-12 with an aggravation of a lingering left calf injury that
had forced him to miss nearly half the season, while point guard
Jose Calderon was still feeling the effects of a right eye bruise
and was kept out as a precaution.
