(The Sports Xchange) - The Toronto Raptors All Star guards DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have come in for criticism for not living up to their status during the playoffs but both stifled the talk on Wednesday. DeRozan, who has been playing with a sore thumb, scored 34 points and Lowry added 25 as the Raptors defeated the Miami Heat 99-91 to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semi-final series. As each went through shooting slumps, Raptors coach Dwane Casey stayed with them even as the criticism mounted.
