DENVER -- DeMar DeRozan is quick to point out that his stunning scoring spree to start the season is no one-man show.DeRozan had 30 points, including four in overtime, and the Toronto Raptors held off the Denver Nuggets for a 113-111 victory Friday night.It was the 10th time in 12 games this season that DeRozan, the NBAs leading scorer, has reached 30 points -- most of any player in the league.Ive had a lot of help, DeRozan said. People have looked for me within the offense. Tonight it was JV (center Jonas Valanciunas) setting screens for me. When the defense packed it in on him, he got me the ball for shots.DeRozan also gave credit to Terrence Ross, who hit a 3-pointer with 37.6 seconds left in the extra period to put Toronto up by two.Terrence has heart and he is more than capable of making a big shot, DeRozan said. You know when you have another threat like that out there who is going to play extremely hard on both ends, its great.Denvers Emmanuel Mudiay was short with a desperation heave from halfcourt at the final buzzer.Kyle Lowry added 18 points and 13 assists for the Raptors, who swept the two-game season series.Mudiay and Wilson Chandler each scored 25 points to lead the Nuggets, who have lost five of six. Denver also was plagued by turnovers, including two in overtime.Its the story of the game and the story of our short season, coach Michael Malone said. Emmanuel throws it out of bounds and Jameer (Nelson) steps out of bounds. Unfortunate timing for those turnovers.After trailing by five going into the fourth quarter, Toronto took an 87-86 lead on a 3-pointer by Ross with 7:57 left.No more than three points separated the teams during the remainder of regulation.DeRozan hit a jumper to put Toronto up 99-98, and Valanciunas added one of two free throws moments later. Nelson answered with a 3 to put Denver back up by a point, but DeRozan hit a jumper with 15 seconds left as the Raptors regained the lead.Chandler was fouled on a drive to the basket and made one of two free throws to tie it. DeRozans baseline jumper at the end of regulation went in and out, sending the game to overtime tied at 102.Behind a 38-point second quarter, their second-highest output in any period this season, the Nuggets took a 57-52 lead at halftime after trailing by as many as 12.Chandler fueled the outburst, scoring 12 points in the quarter.QUOTABLEWe fought to get to overtime but we had too many turnovers. As a team, we didnt make the screens, we didnt make the good passes. I think thats the reason we lost the game. -- Nuggets center Nikola Jokic.TIP-INSRaptors: C Lucas Nogueira did not travel with the team to Denver to remain at home with his wife, who gave birth to their baby girl on Thursday.

Allrounder Nitish Kumar has been named Canadas new captain in a 14-man squad to take on USA in the Auty Cup - which will be contested as a three-match 50-over series this year - beginning on October 13 in Los Angeles. The 22-year-old takes over from Rizwan Cheema, who ended his Canada career earlier this year to take up an offer from the Capricorn Commanders in the Masters Champions League held in the UAE. Kumar made his Canada debut as a 14-year-old, and has captaincy experience at junior level, having led Canadas Under-15 and Under-19 squads in the past. In addition to playing first-class cricket for MCCU Loughborough, Kumar was contracted to the St. Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League this year.Canadas chances of retaining the Auty Cup will be dented by the absence of three key players. Ruvindu Gunasekera, Navneet Dhaliwal and Jeremy Gordon, who had all been part of the ICC Americas combined team that went to Trinidad & Tobago in January for the WICB Nagico Super50, have been left out. According to Cricket Canada general manager Ingleton Liburd, the trio was unavailable for selection for the Autyy Cup tour.dddddddddddd.Their spots have been taken by four uncapped players, including Bhavindu Adhihetty, who was part of the Canada squad at this years Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. The others are Dilon Hyliger, Varun Sehdev and Shehan Kamileen.One other key addition to the Canada squad is the returning Nikhil Dutta. The offspinner was not a part of Canadas last touring side to the 2015 World T20 Qualifier in Scotland and Ireland, and his absence was felt. Canada had finished last in their group, having won the ICC Americas Division One Twenty20 championship earlier that year, when he was their leading wicket-taker.Canada will be coached by Davy Jacobs, the former South African first-class cricketer, who captained the Warriors franchise from 2008 to 2014. Jacobs, 33, had also fetched a $190,000-bid in the IPL auction in 2011 and represented the Mumbai Indians for two seasons. He now lives in Toronto and coaches at a local academy, in addition to guiding the national team.
