In brief: Kyle Lowry nets 43 and Toronto Raptors edge first-place Cleveland Cavaliers

NBA: Kyle Lowry scored a career-high 43 points to help the host Toronto Raptors beat the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers 99-97 on Friday.

Terrence Ross added 15 points for Toronto, which won its 10th straight at home to tie a franchise record previously set between March 24 and Nov. 4, 2002.

LeBron James had 25 points and Kevin Love added 20 for the Cavaliers, who had their lead over Atlantic Division- leading Toronto in the East cut to two games.

Lowry tied the score at 97-all with a hook shot with 51.9 seconds remaining. After J.R. Smith’s miss gave the Raptors back the ball with 28.9 seconds left, Lowry took his time before firing a pull-up jumper with 3.8 seconds left to put Toronto back in front.

Following a Cleveland timeout, James unleashed what would have been a game- winning 3-pointer, but it missed the rim completely as time expired.

Walker hits game-winner: Kemba Walker scored 22 points and hit the game-winning shot with 2.4 seconds left to lead the Charlotte Hornets over the Indiana Pacers 96-95 in Indianapolis.

Monta Ellis gave Indiana the lead with a layup over Walker with 16.2 seconds to go. Walker then split two defenders to get to the rim on Charlotte’s ensuing possession and sank a left-handed scoop shot over Paul George.

The Pacers had a chance at the buzzer, but George’s shot from the top of the key missed. George finished with 32 points.

Mavericks beat Nuggets in OT: Raymond Felton tied the score late in regulation and then had eight of his 16 points in overtime as Dallas rallied from 23 points down to beat visiting Denver 122-116.

Chandler Parsons led the Mavericks with 27 points, including 15 in the third quarter when Dallas took a 67-66 lead with 5:15 to play – coming all the way back from a 55-32 deficit late in the second quarter.

Hawks snap three-game skid: Jeff Teague scored 19 points, Al Horford added 18 and host Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak with a 103-88 victory over the short-handed Chicago Bulls.

The Hawks ended a four-game home skid – their longest since April 2007.

Gordon returns: Pelicans guard Eric Gordon, who has missed 16 games with a fractured right ring finger, will return to the lineup against Minnesota, New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said.

Gordon injured his finger against the Timberwolves on Jan. 19. He said he’ll play with a small, stabilizing brace on his finger initially.

Oregon’s Alleyne out with torn ACL

Miscellany: Jillian Alleyne, who just moved into second place in NCAA history with her 92nd career-double-double, had her senior season at Oregon cut short after suffering a torn ACL in practice on Tuesday.

“It is tough to see such a good person have to deal with such a difficult injury,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in the release. “Jillian has had one of the most remarkable careers in Pac-12 history and I’m sad to see it cut short. With her strong faith and work ethic, however, I know she will recover and go on to a long and successful professional career.” Alleyne is the 10th player in NCAA history with at least 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds.

She was the media pick for the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, was an Associated Press honorable mention All-American as a sophomore and an AP third-team selection last year.
