TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan was asked what his Toronto Raptors had gotten out of their playoff experiences so far, on the eve of their fourth crack at it. Last year, against a Pacers team that had Paul George and not a whole lot else, the Raptors missed at shocking levels. Lowry and DeRozan each shot 32 per cent from the field — that’s with the benefit of rounding up — and Lowry hit just seven three-pointers over seven games. Nothing in the Raptors recent history suggests Toronto will make this easy, but the opportunity is there. When Ujiri made those trade-deadline moves, it gave the Raptors the most complete lineup they have ever had.
