Raptors Have 4 Players with 3 or More Steals in Game 2

Bleacher Report MilestonesMay 6, 2016

The Toronto Raptors had an interesting box score in Thursday's 96-92 win over the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, becoming the first team since the 2006-07 Golden State Warriors to have four players with three or more steals in a single playoff game, per Sportsnet Stats.

Forward DeMarre Carroll led the way with four, followed by guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan and center Jonas Valanciunas—each of whom recorded three.

The only starter to fall short of three steals was guard Norman Powell, who still contributed one despite playing just nine minutes.

Given that no team has accomplished the feat since 2007, it should come as no surprise that Thursday's game marked the first time in Raptors history four players recorded three or more steals in the same playoff contest, per Sportsnet Stats.

The Raptors also had 15 steals as a team, setting a new single-game franchise record for the playoffs, per Basketball-Reference.com's play index.

The turnovers allowed Toronto to edge out a tough victory, but the team still has some major concerns due to the continued struggles of DeRozan and Lowry, who combined for 38 points on 46 field-goal attempts.

What's more, the Raptors find themselves in a tricky spot, tied 1-1 with the Heat as the series heads back to Miami.
