Last updated on Tuesday, March 17, 2015

(Indianapolis, IN) - The Pacers fell to the Toronto Raptors 117-98.

Toronto was led by Kyle Lowry's 20 point, 11 rebounds, 10 assist triple-double while DeMar DeRozan threw down 22 points.

The Raptors led by as much as 19 points and by midway through the second quarter, Indiana was playing catch up the rest of the night.

George Hill led the Pacers with 23 points while Rodney Stuckey continued to provide a spark from the bench as he had 20.

The Raptors get the clean regular series sweep against the Blue & Gold.

After a four game home stand, the Pacers now hit the road for their next two, starting on Wednesday when they visit the Chicago Bulls.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made his first visit to Indianapolis since taking over for David Stern last February.

Silver was in attendance for the Pacers/Raptors game and met with the media touching on a number of topics, including the state of the NBA, reducing the number of back-to-backs in NBA schedules and the bright future of the Pacers franchise. "Their future is spectacular. The owners have a long term commitment to this community and so its great to see the franchise run so well."
