TORONTO (AP) _ Chauncey Billups scored 14 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter as the Denver Nuggets beat the Toronto Raptors 92-87 Thursday night in the final exhibition game for both teams.

Billups, who played briefly for the Raptors two years ago, came off the bench to score nine straight points midway through the fourth quarter.

Dell Curry brought Toronto within three points with a 3-pointer with 2:30 remaining, but Billups clinched the game with a 3-pointer to give Denver a 88-82 lead.

The Raptors came within three with 12.6 seconds go on Vince Carter's layup, but Billups made two free throws after being fouled.

The Nuggets acquired Billups in a three-way deal with Minnesota and Toronto. The Raptors thought Billups wasn't an inconsistent shooter and unsuited for the point guard position.

Raef LaFrentz had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Nuggets.

Vince Carter, last year's rookie of the year, led all scorers with 27 points. He also had 10 rebounds.

Toronto center Kevin Willis was ejected from the game in the fourth quarter. Willis was angry about a non-call on a layup attempt.
