The Lithuanian big man scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Kyle Lowry had 16 and the Toronto Raptors kept right on rolling after a big win two nights earlier, beating the New York Knicks 132-106 on Sunday for their season-high eighth straight victory.
Spaniard Serge Ibaka had 14 points and Austrian Jakob Poeltl scored 10 points off the bench for the winning side. New York was without starting center Turk Enes Kanter because of back spasms and French guard Frank Ntilikina who was a started had 11 points and two assists.
The Raptors had no letdown after edging NBA-leading Houston on Friday in a matchup of the No. 1 teams in each conference, leading much of the game even with All-Star DeMar DeRozan shooting just 4 for 16 for nine points.
