Jack of all trades: Trail Blazers best Raptors

Martell Webster netted 22 and pulled down eight boards while Juan Dixon added 16 points for the Blazers, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Ime Udoka ended with 13 points.

Morris Peterson scored a season-best 23 points and T.J. Ford chipped in 19 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Raptors, who have lost three straight contests. Jorge Garbajosa donated 10 points and also pulled down seven rebounds for Toronto, which was playing without Chris Bosh. The All-Star center missed the game with a sore left knee.

The Blazers led 24-21 after the opening 12 minutes of play and extended their lead to 50-41 at the half.

Udoka’s trey pushed the score to 68-55, but the Raptors tallied eight of the final 10 points of the quarter, capped by a pair of Peterson layups, narrowing the gap to 70-62 heading into the fourth quarter.

Leading 73-66, the Blazers reeled off a 10-2 run, capped by a pair of Jamaal Magliore free throws, for an 83-68 advantage with 3:42 left. Toronto opened the stanza by missing its first eight field goals until Garbajosa drained a jumper with 3:59 on the clock.

The Raptors countered with a 10-2 spurt, highlighted by two Peterson threes, narrowing the gap to 85-78.

Ford’s three-pointer with 42 ticks remaining brought Toronto with six, 89-83, but that was as close as it would get.
