Raptors-Spurs Preview

The San Antonio Spurs had one of the league's best road records last season, but they're off to a woeful start away from AT&T Center and will be without Tony Parker for the next week.

Perhaps a lengthy stretch back home will get coach Gregg Popovich's team back on track.

The Spurs look to avoid their first three-game losing streak since the beginning of last season Monday night when they open a stretch of 10 of 12 at home against the Toronto Raptors.

San Antonio (2-3) lost three in a row to open the 2008-09 season - two at home - but their current struggles have come on the road. The Spurs, who were 26-15 on the road last season, have won their two home games by an average of 18.0 points, but are 0-3 away from home.

They were in trouble from the outset in consecutive losses at Utah and Portland last week, falling behind by 10 after one quarter in a 113-99 loss to the Jazz on Thursday, then trailing by 15 after 12 minutes in a 96-84 defeat to the Trail Blazers one night later.

"We committed too many mistakes from the get-go,'' said guard Manu Ginobili, who's averaging 13.8 points but shooting just 39.2 percent. "It's too bad. It shouldn't be happening. We've really got to step out and try to play 48 minutes.''

San Antonio outscored Portland the final three quarters, but also played most of the final 36 minutes without Parker. The three-time All-Star sprained his left ankle in the second - the same ankle he hurt nearly a year ago to the day - and expects to miss about a week.

Parker said this sprain isn't as severe as the one that caused him to miss three weeks last season, but the Spurs will certainly miss him considering he averaged 23.0 points and 7.0 assists in two games against the Raptors (3-3) in 2008-09.

Each team won on its home floor, with Toronto overcoming 32 points from Ginobili and injuries to Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon to win 91-89 on Feb. 11.

Bosh is among the league's top five scorers through six games, averaging 28.5 points, and he's also among the NBA's rebounding leaders with 11.8 per contest.

The Raptors, however, have given up 108.2 points per game, and had one of their worst defensive efforts in years their last time out. Toronto allowed Dallas to shoot 62.4 percent Saturday - the best field-goal percentage by an opponent against the Raptors in more than six years - in a 129-101 loss.

"I'm disappointed in the way that we played, but they had more energy, they had more movement, they had better confidence shooting the basketball and that's why you get a result like this," coach Jay Triano said.

Toronto has made 40.0 percent of its shots from beyond the arc thus far, with Andrea Bargnani emerging as a consistent 3-point threat. The former No. 1 overall pick seems to have made some big strides in his game, shooting 52.4 percent overall and 51.6 percent from 3-point range - both significant improvements over last season.

He's also averaging 20.7 points, a 5.3-point increase.

For the Raptors to have a chance, though, they'll need Bosh to play better than he typically has against Tim Duncan. The four-time All-Star has averaged 13.0 points on 35.1 percent shooting in his last four games versus Duncan, while the Spurs' big man has averaged 20.3 points on 60.0 percent shooting with three blocks.

Minus two-thirds of the 'Big Three,' Spurs win shootout

SAN ANTONIO (NBA.com exclusive) -- If there's one thing the Toronto Raptors have spent the early part of the season showing it's that they can create plenty of offense -- even if they give up plenty of it to the other team as well.

Not playing defense well is one thing. But to throw in the inability to grab rebounds at the same time is even worse.

The Raptors hit 59 percent of their shots Monday, easily outshooting the Spurs. But San Antonio grabbed nine more rebounds and dominated in second-chance points to defeat the Raptors 131-124 at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs were playing without stars Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, who both were ailing with ankle injuries suffered on the Spurs' last road trip. The duo is listed as day-to-day. Their absence aside, consider the following:

The 131 points the Spurs scored is the most in franchise history in a non-overtime game since a 131-111 victory over Denver on April 22, 1993.

How long ago is that? Back then, John Lucas took over for Jerry Tarkanian as coach for the last 62 games and David Robinson was the Spurs' star.

Even defensive-minded coach Gregg Popovich could enjoy this performance.

"Wins are always enjoyable," he said. "If one can't enjoy a win, that's a real problem."

The Spurs were so shorthanded they put out a starting lineup of second-year player George Hill (for Parker) and Michael Finley beside him in the backcourt, Keith Bogans at small forward, Richard Jefferson at Duncan's power forward position and Theo Ratliff at center.

Hill started six games in place of Parker last season during one of his ankle injuries, and Finley, Bogans and Jefferson have started this year for the Spurs.

But it was Ratliff's first start since the '07-08 season in Minnesota.

Ratliff made way for reserve Antonio McDyess, who had five offensive rebounds as part of his 10 total boards. Rookie DeJuan Blair had four offensive rebounds -- Toronto had five as a team -- and San Antonio had a 32-12 advantage in second-chance points.

Hill was 8-for-15 and had five assists to two turnovers to go along with his 22 points.

"In preseason he was our best player," Spurs reserve Manu Ginobili said. "Every day we see him mature. Now, without Tony, we need him."

As good as Hill was, it's always good to have Ginobili around. He led the Spurs with 36 points in 32 minutes, which included 6-for-8 from 3-point territory and 14-for-16 from the line. He also had four blocked shots in defense.

He even outdid Chris Bosh, who scored 32 points in 32 minutes along with 10 rebounds.

But Toronto's defense had trouble keeping up with the slashing Ginobili and Hill.

"I thought their smalls went past our smalls," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "Our bigs had a hard time keeping their smalls in front of them. We're just having a hard time stopping the penetration right now."

The Raptors gave up 129 points to Dallas on Saturday and only New York, Memphis and Golden State give up more points than Toronto (108 per game). The Raptors also are 25th in opponent field-goal percentage and 28th in opponent 3-point percentage.

"Toronto's a great offensive team," Ginobili said. "They're not so good defensively yet. We knew we were going to have to score. But I didn't think I would be out there making six threes."
