Watch Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan Get Winning Basket With Steal, Poster Dunk

This certainly isn’t a bad way to win. With the score tied against the Boston Celtics and the the fourth quarter game clock ticking below 40 seconds, Toronto Raptors stars Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan did what they do best. Watch Lowry pick Marcus Smart’s pocket before heading the other way and leaving a bounce pass for the high-flying DeRozan, who put his team ahead for good with an and-1 poster dunk on Kelly Olynyk.

Bullies.

DeRozan’s slam and ensuing free three put the Raptors ahead by three, a lead they’d never relinquish en route to a 110-107 victory. Lowry finished with a season-high 35 points on 12-17 shooting, while DeRozan continued struggling with his shot but managed 25 points and six assists nonetheless.

Guess who sits tied atop the Eastern Conference with the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls at 4-1? The Raptors. And though they’ve yet to beat a winning team, Lowry, DeRozan, and company have a golden opportunity to do just that when they face-off against John Wall and the Wizards on Friday. Whether Toronto can manage plays like this or not, Air Canada Centre will surely be rocking regardless.
