Jarrett Jack scored 18 against his former team, Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Türkoğlu each had 14 for the Raptors, who won for just the second time in six games. Indiana’s Danny Granger recovered from a poor first half to finish with a season-high 36, including seven 3-pointers, and nine rebounds. Former Raptor T.J. Ford scored 16.

Troy Murphy and Brandon Rush each scored 11 for the Pacers, who have allowed four straight opponents to top 100 points.

Toronto led by 21 at the half but saw the Pacers cut the gap to eight, 100-92 to begin the fourth. Murphy made 3-pointers on consecutive possessions, the second making it 113-106 with 6:52 left, but Bosh made one free throw and, after Toronto grabbed the rebound on the missed second, Jack drained a 3-pointer to push the lead back to 11, 117-106.

Calderon and Türkoğlu combined to shoot 6 for 7 in the first as Toronto led 39-31 after one, it’s highest-scoring opening quarter of the season.

A large group of fans from Toronto’s Turkish community waved flags and cheered loudly for Türkoğlu.
