Kevin Durant scored 31 points as the Rockets out-rebounded Toronto 53-22 and dominated the paint 66-36 without Jakob Poeltl, the Raptors’ starting center.

  • On Wednesday, Kevin Durant scored 31 points as the Houston Rockets defeated the Toronto Raptors 139-121 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

  • At different points the Rockets used five players over six-foot-10, outrebounding Toronto 53-22 and outscoring them 66-36 in the paint with their frontcourt.
  • The result leaves the Houston Rockets 2-2 and on a two-game streak, while the Toronto Raptors fall to 1-4 and their fourth straight loss, with both teams heading on the road this week.
  • The game start was moved up by an hour for World Series Game 5, with Scotiabank Arena screens showing the baseball game and Toronto hitting 21 for 40 threes but still losing.
