Upward Bound

The Pistons made no moves as the NBA trade deadline passed on Thursday, though not for lack of trying. But don't mistake activity for progress. It takes just as much courage to stand pat in tough times than it does to roll the dice and deal when you're already a contender, Keith Langlois writes for True Blue Pistons.

Barbosa's Big Night Leads Raptors Past Pacers

Related: Box Score | Photo Gallery Video: Game Highlights | Triano | Barbosa | J. Johnson | Calderon | Davis More Video: JJ Brings The Dino-Mite | Davis Throws It Down | Davis Pins It | Davis With The Dish Follow: Twitter | Facebook | RaptorSpace March 11, 2011 TORONTO(AP) -- It wasn't Leandro Barbosa's 29 points that got the Indiana Pacers mad, it was his missed layup in the dying seconds. Your browser does not support iframes. Barbosa scored a season-high 29, Ed Davis had 12 points and 13 rebounds and the Raptors beat the Pacers 108-98 on Friday night, Indiana's fifth straight loss in Toronto. The Pacers lost their sixth straight overall and dropped into a tie with Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the East after the Bobcats beat Portland. As upset as they were at themselves after another poor effort, the Pacers were angrier at Toronto after Barbosa drove to the basket with six seconds left and his team leading by 10 points. "If I was on him, I would have took his head off and I would have been suspended for a game for a flagrant foul," Danny Granger fumed. "Stuff like that will sit in the back of your head the next time we play Toronto. We don't play them again but if I was on him, I would have taken his neck off." Granger confronted Barbosa at the whistle, yelling at him to dribble out the clock. Several other players joined the argument, including Toronto's Reggie Evans and Jose Calderon. The Raptors said the shot was payback for a play at the end of Toronto's 104-93 loss in Indianapolis on Jan. 31, when Darren Collison hit a late 3-pointer. "You can't give respect if you don't (get) respect," Barbosa explained. Granger said he didn't recall the original incident. "I can't remember but, like I said, it'll sit in the back of your mind next time you play Toronto," he said. "That's unsportsmanlike. I would have taken his head off and busted his lip. That's just me though." Barbosa said he knew the Pacers were going to get mad about his shot...

Crossing Paths

When the Pistons play at San Antonio on Wednesday, the education of Greg Monroe will continue with an important new chapter. There is no better role model for Monroe than Spurs future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan - and no better outcome for the Pistons than a career for Monroe that would come close to paralleling Duncan's, Keith Langlois writes for True Blue Pistons.

Raptors Survive Late Thunder Surge To Stop Road Slide

Related: Box Score | Photo Gallery Video: Game Highlights | Triano | Barbosa | Calderon | A. Johnson | J. Johnson More Video: Amir's Winner| Johnson Baseline | Sonny Swats It | DeRozan Silences Thunder | JJ The Hard Way Follow: Twitter | Facebook | RaptorSpace March 20, 2011 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (AP) -- After tying the game, Leandro Barbosa was supposed to have the chance to win it. Your browser does not support iframes. Instead, he let Amir Johnson do it. Johnson made a layup with 1.4 seconds left to lift the Toronto Raptors to a 95-93 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. Andrea Bargnani scored 23 points for the Raptors, who snapped a 14-game road losing streak with their first win away from home since Jan. 5 at Cleveland. Oklahoma City had its six-game winning streak snapped. Oklahoma City overcame a 10-point deficit at the end of the third to take a 93-90 lead with 1:31 left. However, Barbosa's 3-pointer with 38.5 seconds left tied it, and he assisted on Johnson's shot. "It was a pick-and-roll play, but he was supposed to take it all the way to the basket," Johnson said. "They double-teamed him, he made a great pass and I was able to finish." Oklahoma City had a chance to force overtime, but Kevin Durant's shot from the baseline was off. James Harden scored 23 points for the Thunder, including eight during their fourth-quarter rally. Durant added 20 but shot 6 of 21 from the floor. "We took some quick shots and some perimeter shots," coach Scott Brooks said. "Normally what we do is attack the basket, try to get to the free throw line and make plays from the inside-out. We missed a lot of shots that we normally make and we've been making a lot lately." The Raptors went on a 10-0 run in the third quarter after Oklahoma City had tied the game at 48. With the Thunder's Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed on the bench for much of the quarter with foul trouble, Bargnani was 3 for 6 from the floor and added four more points from the line...
