T.J. Ford added 16 points and Andrea Bargnani 12 for the Raptors, who have won five of six overall and improved to 18-11 at the Air Canada Centre this season. Jamario Moon donated 11 points and Jason Kapono 10 in the win.
Indiana has dropped three straight and six of its last seven games, including Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Chicago Bulls in the finale of a two-game homestand at Conseco Fieldhouse.
