Lundy's late block seals Raptors' win over Pacers


Seth Lundy blocked a potential game-winning shot by Rienk Mast with two seconds remaining to seal the Toronto Raptors' 94-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers in a thrilling NBA summer league contest Monday at Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center.

Lundy, who led the Raptors with 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting, made the game-sealing defensive play after teammate Jaden Bradley had given Toronto the lead on a free throw with 46 seconds left. Tyreke Key scored 16 points off the bench for the Raptors. Bradley, a second-round draft pick, finished with 15 points and five rebounds, while first-round selection Allen Graves contributed a versatile line of 13 points, six assists, five rebounds and four steals.

Mast led all scorers with 23 points and grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds for the Pacers. Jalen Slawson was a force with 21 points, eight rebounds and two blocks, and Gabe McGlothan added 16 points off the bench. Second-round pick Braden Smith went scoreless but directed the offense with a game-high nine assists.

Toronto stormed out to an early lead, building an 18-point advantage in the first half. However, Indiana battled back, erasing the deficit entirely to tie the score at 45 by halftime.

The fourth quarter featured a dramatic finish. After a three-pointer by Lundy cut Indiana's lead to 93-91 with 1:50 to play, Bradley drew a foul and sank two free throws at the 1:32 mark to tie the score at 93. On a later possession, Bradley was fouled again and made one of two from the line to provide a one-point lead for Toronto. Following a Raptors turnover with 12.5 seconds on the clock, the Pacers had a final chance, but Lundy's block of Mast's hook shot preserved the victory.
