TORONTO -- Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan has been hot all season, scoring more than 30 points in six of his first seven games of the season.The Raptors as a team, however, had been having a little more trouble.They showed signs of finding their shooting range by hitting a season-high 11 3-pointers while DeRozan kept up his dazzling pace by scoring 37 points in a 112-102 victory over the Thunder on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City.I think we just kept working on it and this is the start of something, hopefully, said point guard Kyle Lowry, who had 19 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds on Wednesday. Im not going to get too excited about one good shooting night from 3, but we shot it well.The Raptors (5-2) will be put to the test Friday when they visit the Charlotte Hornets (6-1), who are tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers atop the Eastern Conference after defeating the Utah Jazz 104-98 on Wednesday night at Turner Warner Cable Arena.The Hornets, who are off the franchise-best start, also are being tested. After playing the Raptors on Friday, they visit the Cavaliers on Sunday. The Cavaliers defeated the Raptors last season in the Eastern Conference finals before winning the NBA championship.In defeating the Jazz, the Hornets overcame a 10-point disadvantage, the league-leading fourth time this season that they have come back to win after trailing by double digits.Kemba Walker had 21 points on Wednesday and has 20 or more points in six straight games. He is averaging 23.9 points per game with a field-goal percentage of 46.6 and a 3-point percentage of 43.5.An important part of the Hornets success has been their bench, which outscored the Jazz 41-20.We talk about coming off the bench and providing energy, said Frank Kaminsky, who had 13 points off the bench on Wednesday. We know it all starts with our defense and our talk and let it lead to offense. When (the bench) comes in, gets stops, pushes the ball and scores, it looks like were doing a great job.Its been so much fun so far this season -- the energys been great and our team has been doing great. Hopefully, we can keep that up for a long time.Marco Belinelli also had 13 points off the bench on Wednesday and Spencer Hawes added 11.The Hornets have listed center Roy Hibbert as probable for the game on Friday. He has missed the past five games with a sore right knee. Hibbert began the season as the starting center and Cody Zeller has moved into that spot since the injury.The Raptors have been without center Jonas Valanciunas for the past two games with a contusion on his left knee and is listed as day to day.Lucas Nogueira and Jakob Poeltl have been filling in.Lucas was a plus-30. That was huge for us (Wednesday), coming off the bench and giving us a big plug like that, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. The other night I thought Jakob outplayed him, (Wednesday) it was Lucas night, and thats probably the way its going to be. A two-headed monster with those guys until (Valanciunas) gets back in.Raptors guard/forward Terrence Ross was a late scratch on Wednesday after he sprained his right index finger in practice on Tuesday. He is listed as day to day. Vente Air Max 1 .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jered Weaver only regretted one pitch during his six innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.The way the Los Angeles Angels are playing this season, one pitch is all it takes to regret an entire night.Troy Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer, R.A. Dickey pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning and Toronto stayed atop the AL wild-card chase with a 5-0 victory over the freefalling Angels on Friday night.Weaver (11-12) matched his career high for losses despite throwing seven-hit ball for Los Angeles, striking out four.But Tulowitzki connected in the fourth inning on that pitch from his fellow product of nearby Long Beach States prolific baseball program. The homer, Tulowitzkis second in September, was the 36th allowed by the slow-throwing Weaver this season, one shy of James Shields for most in the majors.My fastball command was really good all night, Weaver said. Its the best its been in a while. I was able to locate down and in all night. Just one stupid pitch, and thats the difference in the game.The Angels have lost five straight, scoring exactly four runs during that miserable stretch. Theyve lost nine of 10 overall to drop to 63-84 -- and the Angels would have to finish 12-3 to avoid the worst season of manager Mike Scioscias 17 years in charge.We didnt pressure those guys enough, Scioscia said. Weave threw one changeup to Tulowitzki that he might want back. Outside of that, he pitched a great game.Edwin Encarnacion added a late two-run homer for the Blue Jays (81-66), who stayed even with Baltimore for the leagues two wild cards. Both teams trail Boston by two games for the AL East lead with 15 to play.We look at it, of course, Dickey said. Thats part of a postseason run. Youre competing against teams in your division that are good. We know what we need to do to get where we want to get.Toronto has lost seven of 11 overall, but took the first two games of a weekend sseries -- the Jays first consecutive wins in September.dddddddddddd Theyve won five straight games in Anaheim for the first time in the franchises 40 seasons.Hopefully, maybe this is the start of a little roll, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. It would be good timing if it was.Dickey (10-14) bolstered his case to keep a rotation spot by limiting the Angels to seven hits and striking out five. His first start since Sept. 5 began with a rough first inning before he settled in.MISSED CHANCESThe Angels chased Dickey and loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth, but failed to score against Joe Biagini when Kaleb Cowart flied out to end the inning. Cowart also struck out to end the eighth, stranding two more Angels.Roberto Osuna got four outs for his 33rd save.ALBERTS 600THAlbert Pujols became the 16th player in big league history to get 600 career doubles with a drive into the left-field corner in the first inning. Pujols joined Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron as the only players with at least 575 homers and 600 doubles.FAN INJUREDA fan behind the Angels dugout was injured when Carlos Perezs bat went flying into the crowd as he swung and missed at a third strike in the second inning. Medical personnel spent several minutes attending to the fan, who was escorted from her seat with an injury on the right side of her head.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: Josh Donaldson was the designated hitter for the second straight game as he returns deliberately from a hip injury. Darwin Barney played third.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Francisco Liriano (7-12, 5.16 ERA) limited Tampa Bay to three hits and two runs in his last start.Angels: Ricky Nolasco (5-14, 4.94) has just one win since joining Los Angeles, but it was a shutout at Angel Stadium.
