Raptors 74, Pacers 72: Jose Calderon recorded his first triple-double with 13 points, a career-high 10 rebounds and 10 assists as visiting Toronto rebounded from an exhausting triple-overtime loss to snap a four-game losing streak.
DeMar DeRozan didn't look the worse for wear after logging 60 minutes in Monday's 140-133 setback to Utah. He had a team-high 15 points in 40 minutes for the Raptors, who seized their first road victory of the season.
George Hill scored 18 points - including eight in the final quarter - for the Pacers, who have dropped four of their last five games.
Toronto saw an 11-point fourth-quarter lead evaporate on Monday - and there nearly was a repeat performance 24 hours later. Hill's scoring surge brought Indiana within two, but Paul George couldn't connect from 15 feet out as time expired.
After Indiana jumped out to a 9-2 lead, Calderon scored his team's next eight points as the Raptors outscored the Pacers by a 27-12 margin over the final nine minutes of the first quarter.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Toronto guard Dominic McGuire started the game as swingmen Alan Anderson (sprained left foot) and Landry Fields (right hand) sat out. In addition, Kyle Lowry missed his fourth straight game with a sprained right ankle. ... The Raptors, who are 1-3 on the road, play six of their next eight games outside of Canada. ... Indiana fell to 2-1 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season.
