With Tony Parker battling a foot injury , the Spurs decided to look at rookie Dejounte Murray to take over the starting point guard duties in order to leave Patty Mills in his role off the bench . And in his last four starts in Parker 's absence , Murray has already been impressive . Following his performance of 11 points , three rebounds and two assists in Tuesday 's victory over the Raptors , Murray is now averaging 13 points , 3 assists and 3 rebounds per game over his last four starts , which included a career - high 24 points in last Thursday 's victory over the Nuggets . That is more points and rebounds than Parker 's averages this season , and while it is a small sample size , Murray 's production at just 20 years old not only gives the Spurs insurance for this year 's championship run , but for every one in the future as well . The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Toronto Raptors 108 - 106 Tuesday at AirCanada Centre . The Spurs ( 36 - 9 ) came into Tuesday 's matchup without Pau Gasol ( finger ) , Kawhi Leonard ( hand ) and Tony Parker ( foot ) , but it did n't matter . Even without three regular starters , San Antonio was able to hold off a struggling Raptors ( 28 - 17 ) team , who remains without their All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan ( ankle ) . In the absence of three stars , LaMarcus Aldridge stepped up with a solid performance , recording a team - high 21 points on 6 - of - 14 shooting from the field to go along with seven rebounds . Patty Mills then added 18 points in 30 critical minutes off the bench . Overall , it was n't the prettiest performance from San Antonio , as they shot just 45 percent from the field and 29 percent from behind the arc , but they still managed to notch their fifth straight victory . As for the Raptors , they continue to struggle , as they have now lost four games in a row after winning four in a row just before that . They had a prime opportunity to end that streak against a banged up San Antonio team , but while Kyle Lowry and the Toronto backcourt managed to take advantage , the frontcourt players struggled to do so . Lowry finished with a game - high 30 points and five rebounds , while Terrance Ross and Norman Powell added 21 and 16 points , respectively . The team 's start frontcourt , however , made up of Jonas Valanciunas , Jared Sullinger and DeMarre Carroll combined to score a grand total of just 11 points . Ball disruption was the ultimate problem , however , as the team managed just 10 assists to their 10 turnovers . Up next , the Spurs will try to make it six straight wins Friday in New Orleans , while the the Raptors will look to end their losing streak when they take on the Grizzlies on Wednesday .
