TORONTO -- After a wobbly playoff debut, Raptors star DeMar DeRozan returned to attack mode for Game 2 against the Brooklyn Nets. Jared Veldheer Broncos Jersey . The 24-year-old Toronto guard had just 14 points in Game 1, with eight of those coming from the free throw line, in a 94-87 loss to visiting Brooklyn that saw DeRozan miss 10 of 13 shots. On Tuesday, a different DeRozan took the court. As he approached the Nets basket, it was if his brain was in overdrive as it diagrammed possible plays. The possibilities seemed endless -- dish off to a teammate, drive to the basket, pull back and take a shot. The Raptors will need more of the same Friday when the series switches to Brooklyns Barclays Center for Game 3. While Toronto preaches a team approach, the Raptors know good things happen when DeRozan is rolling. "I was just trying to feed him," Toronto guard Greivis Vasquez said of Game 2. "I was just trying to get him the ball -- it was just Go, go. We need you to get confidence." Mission accomplished. DeRozan finished with 30 points, 17 of which came in the fourth quarter when he made four of five shots and nine of 11 free throws. He finished the game on five fouls, hanging his head at one point at the end of the bench while his teammates huddled during a timeout. But he was on point when he returned to action in the 100-95 win. DeRozans fourth-quarter output was just two points off the club playoff record of 19, set in 2001 by Vince Carter against Philadelphia. Again and again, DeRozan answered the veteran Nets as they tried to claw their way back. For coach Dwane Casey, DeRozan showed his maturity by taking the shots the defence was giving him rather than trying to force things. "Hes growing," said Casey. "Hes still not a finished product. Weve just seen the beginning of a guy becoming a star." Tuesdays playoff performance was clearly a big step forward on DeRozans young career path. "He knows he can do it in a high-intensity situation," said guard Kyle Lowry. "It just show hes growing," he added. "Hes an all-star for a reason." DeRozans practice regimen includes a variety of difficult shots. He also lifts weights before each games, so he feels like he has the strength to hoist shots from all angles. "If I feel I can get the shot off, I feel like it has a good chance of going in," DeRozan said. It showed Tuesday. His scoring was of the spectacular variety, bringing the sellout crowd of 20,382 to its feet. "You never know what kind of shot youre going to need to shoot at a certain time," he said. Vasquez drove baseline at one point before firing the ball back to the six-foot-seven DeRozan, who attacked the basket, transferred the ball from his right hand to his left in the air and then dunked with authority, "An unbelievable dunk," said the six-foot-six Venezuelan. "I dream about those dunks because I cant even dunk." "He really deserves everything he gets, all the attention and all that stuff he gets because hes our franchise player, hes our best player," he added. "I think for him to do what he did (Tuesday) night was a really huge step to shut a lot people up -- Dont talk about me because Ive got it." DeRozan, meanwhile, said the difference between Game 1 and 2 was he was more aggressive and decisive. How important is DeRozan to the Raptors? He led the team in scoring 42 times during the 2013-14 regular season. He was tied for ninth in league scoring (22.7), fourth in minutes (38.4), fourth in made free throws (519) and fifth in free throws attempted (630). In Brooklyn, Toronto will continue to look to take advantage of its speed and athleticism while hoping to maintain its advantage on the boards. Casey is also looking for a better start to the third quarter, rather than waiting for the fourth to kick into the high gear. "We are the top fourth-quarter team in the league but we cant wait until the fourth quarter in the playoffs," he said. "Weve got to come out hard-charging out of the locker-room."

Nine years later, he might have finally figured it out. He had only five rounds in the 60s in his previous eight trips.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Lightning hope that a perfect homestand can translate into some road success on Saturday night as they shoot for a rare victory in Columbus over the Blue Jackets. The Lightning netted 20 goals during a 4-0-0 homestand, capping the residency with a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames. It was a special night for forward Cedric Paquette, who scored his first two NHL goals. Paquette appeared in his seventh career game as he was recalled from the American Hockey League on Wednesday following an upper-body injury to Alex Killorn. He opened the scoring 9:55 into the game and added his second goal just over a minute into the second frame. I knew I was able to score at this level, Paquette said. Brian Boyle, Tyler Johnson and Valtteri Filppula also scored and Ben Bishop made 29 saves in the win, Tampa Bays sixth in seven games. It hasnt won five straight since March 13-20. The Lightning will play the second contest of a three-game road trip on Sunday in Detroit, so it is unknown if Bishop or backup Evgeni Nabokov will start tonight. Nabokov has excellent career numbers in this matchup, going 20-5-3 with a 1.79 goals against average, .932 save percentage and four shutouts in 29 meetings. Bishop, meanwhile, is 1-1-0 against Columbus wiith a 1. Denver Broncos Jerseys. 06 GAA and .951 save percentage in two games with one start. Though Tampa Bay has won four of its past six versus the Blue Jackets, it has only two victories and one tie in eight all-time trips to Columbus. The Blue Jackets, though, have not been able to win at home or on the road as of late. They dropped a 3-2 decision in overtime last night to the Carolina Hurricanes for their seventh loss in a row. Each of the previous six setbacks had come in regulation. Carolina got the winner with 38 seconds left in overtime on the power play as David Savard took a holding penalty. That gave the Hurricanes their seventh chance on the man advantage in the game. We cant keep doing this to ourselves, said Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards of the penalty. Its not a good recipe as far as winning hockey games. Scott Hartnell had both goals for the Blue Jackets, while Curtis McElhinney made 32 saves in the loss. Another loss for the Blue Jackets tonight would give the club its worst skid since it began the 2011-12 season 0-7-1. With No. 1 netminder Sergei Bobrovsky still out with a fractured finger, Anton Forsberg could make his second career start tonight. He gave up three goals on 29 shots in a loss to New Jersey last Saturday.
