Raptors drop ugly decision to Kings without Valanciunas
DeMar DeRozan missed a pair of free throws with about two minutes left to play Sunday, bouncing the ball in anger after his first uncharacteristic miss.DeRozan saw his streak of consecutive 30-point games end at five, Jonas Valanciunas didn't play due to injury, and the Toronto Raptors dropped an ugly 96-91 loss to Sacramento in a game the two-time all-star summed up as "just one of them nights.""It's a long season," said DeRozan, who led the Raptors with 23 points."It was one of those nights where you can't make a layup.
