EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Anthony Parker's free throw with 1:59 to go gave Toronto its final point of the game Wednesday and the Raptors held on for a 107-106 win over New Jersey.
New Jersey scored the final five points of the contest, the Nets' last two coming on a layup by Devin Harris with 42 seconds remaining. Harris, however, missed a jumper with 6 seconds left that would have given the Nets a much-needed win.
New Jersey has lost seven of its last eight.
Toronto won its third in a row, the first time the Raptors have done that since the opening three games of the season.
Parker scored 21 points, Jose Calderon contributed 17 and Joey Graham had 15.
Vince Carter paced the Nets with 27 points. Harris had 25 and 10 assists.
Toronto took an 84-77 lead into the fourth quarter after ending the third period on a 14-6 run.
