Spurs aim to extend winning streak against Raptors
Basketball Betting Lines
02/26/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Antonio Spurs try to keep pace in the Southwest
standings tonight when they host the Toronto Raptors at AT&T Center.
San Antonio won its fifth straight game on Saturday, a 102-71 victory over
Seattle, but despite the winning surge, remains 8 1/2 games behind Dallas for
the top spot in the division.
Catching the Mavericks, who have won 11 games in a row and are an NBA-best
26-9 this season, may seem impossible for the Spurs. San Antonio is, however,
third overall in the Western Conference.
Tony Parker netted 21 points for the Spurs against the Seattle. Robert Horry
added 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting off the bench while Tim Duncan chipped in
with six points and 15 rebounds.
Tonight's game will serve as the middle portion of a three-game homestand for
San Antonio, which is 18-8 as the host this season.
Toronto, meanwhile, owns a 4 1/2 game lead over New Jersey for the top spot in
the Atlantic Division. The Raptors took advantage of an injury-plagued
Charlotte team on Saturday and posted a 93-76 victory.
Chris Bosh scored all of his 24 points in the second half and grabbed 11
boards as well in the win. Jose Calderon deposited 16 points off the bench for
Toronto, which has won nine of 11 games. T.J. Ford added 15 points.
The Raptors' game against the Bobcats was the opener of a three-game road trip
that will conclude Wednesday in Houston. Toronto is 11-17 on the road this
season.
The Spur have won four straight over the Raptors, including a 103-94 win in
Toronto on November 5. Duncan had 26 points in the win while Bosh was strong
in defeat with 19 points and 17 rebounds.
The Raptors have lost five straight in the series at San Antonio and is 6-16
all-time against the Spurs.
