The San Antonio Spurs will look to build on a rousing pair of victories when they return home to host the struggling Toronto Raptors on Sunday afternoon. It might be modest as win streaks go, but it's how the Spurs won that has all of San Antonio in a fever pitch. The Spurs took two road games in three days from the Phoenix Suns, winning in the final seconds 115-114 on Tuesday after trailing the entire game. Then they dominated the Suns on Thursday, leading by as many as 27 points before allowing Phoenix to tie things midway through the fourth quarter. That is when rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama took charge, scoring 10 of his 38 points in a final decisive push that granted San Antonio a 132-121 victory. The Raptors absorbed a 114-99 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday, their second defeat at the hands of the 76ers already this season. Scottie Barnes led Toronto with 24 points, becoming the first player in Raptors history age 22 or younger to score 20 points in five straight games since Chris Bosh in 2007. OG Anunoby added 16 points for Toronto and Dennis Schroder had 13 points and 10 assists. Pascal Siakam was held to 10 points in the setback. We like the Raptors to do well here on Sunday, let's roll with Toronto.
