The Wrap-Up: Raptors upset the odds and Wolves waste Love’s big night
Keith Firmin brings you The Wrap-Up on all of last night’s NBA games including Kevin Love and Blake Griffin both having big nights.
Boston @ Indiana
The Pacers moved to 13-1 at home with their 106-79 win over the Celtics. Lance Stephenson recorded a triple-double (his third of the season) with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, while Paul George added 24 points as the Pacers joined the OKC Thunder with the joint second-best record in the league.

Toronto @ OKC
So far this season, the Raptors have been better on the road than they have at home and that record was improved upon with a surprising 104-98 win over the previously unbeaten-at-home OKC Thunder. The visiting Raptors trailed 84-75 at the the end of the third period but held the league’s leading scorer, Kevin Durant, to just three points in the fourth quarter to walk away with the win. Kyle Lowry had 22 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and four steals for Toronto.
Minnesota @ Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers overcame an enormous night from Minnesota’s Kevin Love, to take the win in overtime, 120-116. Love had 45 points, 19 rebounds and six assists and Pekovic added 34 points and 14 rebounds for the Wolves but the Clippers, behind Blake Griffin’s 32 points won their fifth straight game – their longest winning streak of the season.
