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...
