The Raptors' point guard erupted after getting called for an offensive foul and had to be restrained by teammate Jason Kapono from charging referee Eddie F. Rush. Ford was whistled for two technicals and ejected.
Carlos Boozer had 13 points and 10 rebounds as the Jazz matched the 19-game home winning streak they had from Jan. 19-March 29, 1996.

Jazz starting center Mehmet Okur left the game in the first quarter due to the stomach flu. But Kyle Korver scored 17 points on 6-for-7 shooting as the Jazz reserves outscored their Toronto counterparts 47-30.
Jose Calderon had 16 points to lead the Raptors, who extended a season-long losing skid to five games. All of those losses have come on the road against Western Conference teams without leading scorer and rebounder Chris Bosh. Toronto is 2-8 since Bosh went out of the lineup with a sore right knee.
