Calderon's triple-double helps Raptors top Rockets - Yahoo! Sports
TORONTO (AP) -- Add tight defense to a triple-double, and it was quite a game for Jose Calderon.
Calderon had 18 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds to lead short-handed Toronto over the Houston Rockets 103-96 Sunday, giving the Raptors consecutive wins for the first time in eight long months.
Calderon started for the third straight game in place of the injured Kyle Lowry, who has a tear in his right triceps.
The 31-year-old Spanish guard, who's the longest serving Raptor, has been a perennial backup in Toronto.
