For the first time in a long time, the Toronto Raptors dont own sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference, but theyll try to reclaim it Sunday night when they visit the Phoenix Suns. Authentic Devin Booker Jersey . Thanks to a two-game losing streak, coupled with outstanding play from the Atlanta Hawks, the Raptors arent in first. Theyve dropped two straight for the second time this season and first time since late November. When the Hawks bested the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, they opened a one-game lead atop the Eastern Conference standings. After an overtime loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, the Raptors were rolled by the Golden State Warriors, 126-105, on Friday. The 126 points allowed were the most by Toronto this season in a non-overtime game. Toronto trailed by as many as 23 in the second half, but pulled within 110-101 after Lou Williams knocked down a pair of jumpers with five minutes remaining. Golden State, though, answered with 14 straight points to put the game away. Greivis Vasquez supplied 25 points, seven assists and five boards off the bench, Kyle Lowry provided 22 points, eight assists and five rebounds and Amir Johnson recorded 12 points and 10 boards for the Raptors, who have dropped three of their last five games. They shot the ball extremely well, said Lowry. Their small ball really got to us tonight. Sundays game ends a six-game road trip for the Raptors, who will try to even their record on this sojourn. They will play six straight in Toronto upon their return and should get All-Star DeMar DeRozan back soon after a groin injury. The Suns snapped a two-game slide with a 16-point home victory Friday night over the Philadelphia 76ers. Markieff Morris and Gerald Green both scored 21 points and the Suns overcame a halftime deficit to rally past the 76ers, 112-96. Eric Bledsoe tallied 17 points and eight assists and Goran Dragic had 10 points and a season-high 10 boards for Phoenix, which returned home following a four-game road trip that ended with a 137-134 overtime loss in Oklahoma City on New Years Eve. The Suns have swept the season series with Philly each of the past two seasons, winning the four games by a combined 67 points. Late in the fourth quarter, with the game well in hand, the Suns became the first team in NBA history to play a pair of brothers on the court at the same time, as Zoran Dragic joined his brother Goran in a lineup that also included the Morris twins, Markieff and Marcus. It feels awesome to make NBA history with two sets of brothers on the same team playing together, said Goran Dragic. Im just happy that he got an opportunity to play well in those two minutes.

Casey Janssen was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to a strain in his left abdominal area and lower back.Toronto starts Marcus Stroman, whos appealing a six-game suspension he was docked with after an incident against Baltimore on Monday in game three of a four-game series against the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon. Stroman threw over the head of an Orioles player whod apparently tried to step on the hand of teammate Jose Reyes earlier in that game, but he denied any intent. "Fastball that just kind of slipped out of my hand," he said. "Its late in the game. I got two big strikeouts. Im a little excited, and trying to get out of the inning. I know its possibly my last hitter. Just trying to execute a fastball in." Stroman had won three straight starts with a 1.59 earned run average before allowing five runs in six innings of the loss to the Orioles. Hes allowed five runs four times in six weeks, and given up two or fewer in the other four starts during that stretch. In two starts against New York, hes 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA. Toronto has lost six in a row while scoring just 15 runs and allowing 33. The playoff-pursuing Yankees will continue to chase an unlikely postseason berth -- and may have to do it without big-ticket outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. New York needs to pass three teams in its final 10 games to earn the American Leagues second and final wild card playoff slot. Its tied with Cleveland and is behind Seattle, Oakland and Kansas City. A failure to do so would be the first time since 1993 that the Yankees have missed the postseason in two straight years. Authentic Charles Barkley Jersey.

"End strong, see what happens," New York relief pitcher Adam Warren said. Ellsbury injured his leg on a fourth-inning ground ball, but left the game in the fifth inning. His absence for the rest of the season was called a "distinct possibility" by manager Joe Girardi. New York starts veteran Chris Capuano, whos made 10 starts with the Yankees since arriving in late July. He allowed two hits in six innings of a game the team lost, 1-0, on Monday at Tampa Bay. Hes got a 2.92 ERA in two meetings with Toronto while with New York. On Friday, Brian McCann drove in a run for the Yankees, who beat Toronto, 5-3. Hiroki Kuroda (11-9) gave up three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits while striking out seven over 6 2/3 innings. Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer for the Blue Jays. Mark Buehrle (12-10) continued to struggle against the Yankees, allowing five runs on eight hits over six innings. The left-hander fell to 1-14 lifetime against New York, with 12 consecutive losing decisions. The Yanks are 10-7 against the Jays this season.
