TORONTO - Jonas Valanciunas had 23 points and 15 rebounds, Kyle Lowry had 18 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and the Toronto Raptors beat the Indiana Pacers 98-87 on Monday night, snapping their postseason losing streak at seven games.

Corey Joseph scored 16 points, Patrick Patterson added 14 and DeMar DeRozan - who sat the entire fourth quarter - had 10 as the Raptors evened the first-round series at 1-1.

Lowry and DeRozan both struggled with their shooting in Saturday's Game 1 loss, combining to make eight of 32 attempts. Neither was particularly sharp in this one, with Lowry making four of 13 and DeRozan making five of 18.

Paul George scored 28 points for the Pacers, who host Game 3 on Thursday night.
