from a rare bit of good fortune.Gay had 23 points and nine rebounds, and the
Kings beat Toronto 102-99 on Sunday night after waiting out a video review to
see if the Raptors had forced overtime on Terrence Ross 3-pointer at the
buzzer.Following a timeout with 2.4 seconds left, Ross grabbed a deflected pass,
took two dribbles and made a 33-footer -- but the officials ruled time had
expired.Official Mike Callahan said a replay review showed the clock didnt start
when DeMarcus Cousins deflected the ball. The actual elapsed time was 2.5
seconds, resulting in no basket and a celebration at Golden 1 Arena.Ive got to
hear another explanation better than that because we reviewed it about 10 times
in there, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. Even if the clock started once
DeMarcus Cousins deflected it, T-Ross caught it, shot it, and still had shot it
at .5 (seconds) with plenty of time.The only explanation the Kings cared about
was the disputed shot didnt count.We never get these kinds of breaks, Gay said.
It felt good to get off the court and celebrate this win.While the Kings were
ecstatic, the Raptors bemoaned their fate.Im going to save my money and say no
comment, Kyle Lowry said.The NBAs scoring leader, DeMar DeRozan was defended
tightly by Gay for much of the game and missed 12 of 15 shots while finishing
with a season-low 12 points for Toronto.The Kings snapped a four-game losing
streak and beat the Raptors for the second time this season. DeRozan, who
entered averaging 33 points per game, missed all eight shots and had three
second-half points as Toronto was outscored 44-36.We gave up 36 in the second
half. Thats fantastic, because the first half wasnt so nice defensively, Kings
coach Dave Joerger said.Sacramento defeated Toronto for the second time this
season. In the first meeting, DeRozan shot 7 of 20 and had 23 points. He has
reached 30 points in 10 of 13 games this season.I can say it was a bad shooting
night or I could be humble and say that I played good defense, said Gay, an
ex-teammate of DeRozans. Hes a friend of mine.Lowry had nine of his 25 points in
the fourth quarter and finished with eight assists and seven turnovers. Jonas
Valanciunas added 23 points and 14 rebounds, DeMarre Carroll scored 17 points,
and Patrick Patterson 11.Cousins had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings.
Darren Collison added 15 points and nine assists, and Aaron Afflalo scored 14.
Sacramento had dropped eight of 10.Lowry made two free throws to cut the Kings
lead to 102-99. A shot-clock violation gave the ball back to Toronto for one
more possession.Collison converted a three-point play to break a 97-all tie with
just more than 3 minutes remaining. He found Gay for a dunk off a fast break,
giving the Kings a 102-97 lead with 1:37 left.TIP-INSRaptors: Reserve center
Lucas Nogueira was back with the team after missing Thursdays game to be with
his wife, who gave birth to a baby girl. ... Valanciunas had 19 points in the
opening half and benefited from Cousins being in foul trouble.Kings: The
struggling Kings went to a smaller lineup, moving Matt Barnes and Collison into
the starting lineup. The results were mixed, and Toronto led 36-28 after one
quarter. ... The Kings are 17-3 at home against the Raptors.UP NEXTRaptors: Face
