Parker had 13 points, and Tim Duncan had 30 points and 13 rebounds in helping the Spurs improve to 10-1 against Eastern Conference teams. Rasho Nesterovic grabbed 10 rebounds. Before their current streak, the Spurs were 9-10 and at the bottom of the Midwest division. Now they are in first place, a half-game ahead of Dallas. Donyell Marshall shot a 3-point attempt with a second left, but the ball rolled off the rim. The Raptors, who lost their fourth straight, were led by Marshall's 19 points and 14 rebounds. He was 3-for-6 from behind the 3-point arc. Jalen Rose had 14 points, Alivin Williams had 10, and Vince Carter, bothered by a sore Achilles' tendon, had 16. Chris Bosh added 12 rebounds. Toronto, last in the NBA by scoring only 85.1 points per game, could only muster 10 points in the fourth.</div> Recap Box Score Amazing how the midwest standings can change in a week.
