TORONTO - When DeMar DeRozan scored on a spectacular 360 layup Sunday night, he couldnt help but smile to himself. Nike Air Max Plus Rabatt .The highlight-reel basket was the punctuation mark on a night that saw the Toronto Raptors run roughshod over the Philadelphia 76ers with a 120-88 victory, improving their Eastern Conference-leading record to 6-1.The Raptors are alone atop the East for the first time in franchise history, and the jovial mood was evident in the post-game locker-room.Just stay under control, DeMar said, when asked what he was thinking going into the spin move. As long as I got a look at the basket, I felt like I could . . . Hes lying, he was lucky, interjected Kyle Lowry, seated one locker over.You try it, DeRozan said.It was luck, dog, Lowry answered.It was skill. I practised it, DeRozan said.DeRozan poured in 24 points on a veritable smorgasbord of shots, while Terrence Ross added 17, and Lou Williams finished with 16. Lowry had 14 points, while Greivis Vasquez chipped in with 13, and Jonas Valanciunas had 12 in Game 2 of Torontos seven-game homestand.Lowry later said DeRozans spin move was pretty good. Thats what he does. Thats why hes an all-star.The Raptors had talked before the game about getting a lead, and then keeping our foot on peoples necks. . . not give them any hope, DeRozan said.Mission accomplished. As coach Dwane Casey put it, the NBA is a no-mercy league.If you go in and disrespect them and dont come in with a professional approach, theyre very capable, like any other team in this league, of beating you, Casey said. I respect them, I dont feel sorry for them. I dont feel sorry for teams in this league because they dont feel sorry for us.Tony Wroten had 18 points to lead the woeful Sixers (0-7), the NBAs worst team. Chris Johnson finished with 16.The Raptors, who began the night a half game ahead of Washington and Chicago for first in the East, got off to a strong start, taking a 19-point lead in the opening quarter and never took their foot off the gas.Toronto led 88-63 with one quarter to play in what wasnt the most entertaining of games in front of an ACC crowd of 18,470 that included a bespectacled Drake.Ross, in his second strong game, drained a three with five minutes to play to give the Raptors a 113-72 lead. The second unit played the final five minutes of mop-up time, but showed no mercy. And when James Johnson threw down a massive dunk with 2:32 to play, it put Toronto up by 41 and brought the fans, the players on the Raptors bench, and Drake, to their feet.The fans ushered the team off the court with a standing ovation.You have to tip your hat off to Toronto, they are one of the best teams in the East right now, said Wroten.Actually, the best. What does that mean to the Raptors?Nothing, Lowry said. At the end of the day this could turn around in a heartbeat. Were just going out there every day and trying to compete and get better. Toronto is a perfect 5-0 at home, and has the luxury of playing five more in a row at the Air Canada Centre.Philly, which is heading in the opposite direction of Toronto, has now lost 70 of their last 86 regular-season games.As for their spot atop the East, Casey said he wasnt giving it a lot of thought. Its great for the fans. Its great for the players to see that, but its not the most important thing right now, Casey said. Our most important thing is developing a consistent personality.The coach praised DeRozans growth this season.He took what the defence gave him. If they gave him a drive, he took it, he didnt force things, he kicked it out and found shooters and his spacing was good, Casey said. Hes becoming a very efficient, smart, under control veteran-type player that you need to have in that position who can score but also takes what the game gives him.DeRozan led the way with nine points in a sloppy first quarter for both teams. The Raptors shot 69 per cent in the frame and took a 33-20 lead into the second.Valanciunas went to the rim untouched to stretch Torontos lead to 47-28 with seven minutes to go in the half. The Raptors went into the dressing room at halftime up 60-45.DeRozans beautiful spin move in the third quarter put Toronto up by 23 points, then he scored on a putback layup with 4:28 remaining in the frame to give the Raptors a 27-point advantage. Williams drained a long two at the buzzer to send Toronto into the fourth quarter up by 25.The Raptors host Orlando on Tuesday then Chicago on Thursday.NOTES: The last time the Raptors were tied or alone atop the East was Nov. 12, 2004. They were tied with four other teams at 4-2. . . The Raptors swept the Sixers in their three meetings last season for the first time in franchise history. Air Max 200 Dam . PETERSBURG, Fla.

SOCHI — Carey Price will play in goal for Team Canada in its Olympic opener against Norway on Thursday, while Roberto Luongo will get the call against Austria on Friday. Its up the two of them to determine which goalie will start against Finland on Sunday. Canadian mens head coach Mike Babcock said there was no reason for his decision. Babcock informed his goalies, including the teams third goalie, Mike Smith, of the decision in face-to-face meetings on Wednesday morning. "Im really thrilled and ready to go," Price said. "Our preparations have been really good so far. All three of knew that if we were called upon, wed be ready to get in there." Price enters the Olympics on a roll. He won his final three starts with the Montreal Canadiens before the break, stopping 100 of 103 shots, including a 5-2 victory over Luongo and the Vancouver Canucks in Montreal on Feb. 6. Luongo and the Canucks, meanwhile, have struggled with seven straight losses. Luongo has been in goal for five of those defeats and has won only three of his last 10 starts. The Canucks netminder was in goal when Canada won gold in Vancouver four years ago. "Oh, it didnt matter," said Luongo, when asked about the decision to start with Price. "I think right now its just focusing on Norway, thats the first challenge for our team. Ive got to be ready, you never know what can happen in the gaame. Nike Air Max 97 Dam Sverige. I dont want to look too far ahead right now. I just want to focus on tomorrow, making sure that as a group, not only myself, that were ready to play." Price was asked to look down the road to possibly getting the start against Finland "All Im concerned about is our game tomorrow," he said. "Thats all that matters." Because of Canadas roster size, Smith will be joined on the sidelines by a defenceman and forward. But Babcock would not divulge who the two scratches will be. Canada practiced for the third time and once again kept their lines the same as they prepare to open the competition on Thursday.
