Ginobili's 36 carries Spurs without Parker, Duncan

SAN ANTONIO: With Tim Duncan and Tony Parker out, the San Antonio Spurs needed scoring. They did better against Toronto than just keep up.

Manu Ginobili scored 36 points without Parker and Duncan in the lineup, and the Spurs beat the Raptors 131-124 on Monday night in a shootout despite San Antonio's two leading scorers sitting out with sore ankles.

Ginobili hit four 3-pointers in the fourth but after the Spurs were less impressed with their offense than disappointed in the dent to their defensive reputation.
