Toronto snapped a three-game losing streak and handed the Spurs just their second home loss of the season 2007-2008.

“They’re a good basketball team. They’re the defending world champs. And we beat them on this floor,” Raptor’s coach said.

Jason Kapono scored 10 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and Kris Humphries added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Toronto, which has two games left of its seven-game Western road swing. Jose Calderon also contributed 14 points.

Michael Finley led the Spurs with 20 points and Tony Parker added 15. Tim Duncan scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

The Spurs shot as poorly as they have all season (23-of-72, 32 per cent) and gave the ball up 19 times as they struggled without super sub Manu Ginobili, who is out with a sprained left index finger.

“We got shots that we usually knock out, and they didn’t go out tonight,” Duncan said.


The Spurs’ 73 points were their fewest this season.
