Lou Williams had 31 points for the Raptors, who won at Pepsi Center for the first time since the 2003-04 season.

Toronto, the top team in the Eastern Conference, had lost 11 of its last 14 against the Nuggets but got the season sweep with Sunday’s win.

The Raptors have won seven of eight.

Ty Lawson led Denver with 28 points and Wilson Chandler had 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Kenneth Faried, who had 26 points and a career-best 25 rebounds in Friday’s win over Minnesota, had 17 points and 19 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have lost three of four.

Toronto, coming off a 12-point win over the Clippers in Los Angeles on Saturday, led by one when Williams hit two free throws and a 3-pointer to give the Raptors a 100-94 lead. After Nate Robinson missed a 3-pointer, Lowry sank two foul shots to push the lead to seven.

The lead grew to 109-98 on a three-point play by Lowry with 3:59 left. Denver never got closer than nine the rest of the way.

Faried’s layup midway through the third quarter gave Denver a 76-75 lead. Toronto went back up by four but a steal and layup and a jumper by Nate Robinson cut the Raptors’ lead to 88-87 heading into the fourth.

The Raptors took the lead late in the first quarter and stretched it to 13 with 2:50 remaining in the second quarter. Denver rallied to get to 56-54 on Faried’s put-back dunk with 37.4 seconds left in the half, but Toronto scored the final four points to take a 60-54 lead into intermission.
