Patty Mills has continued his outstanding form with 18 points off the bench to help the San Antonio Spurs beat hosts Toronto 108-106 and score their fifth straight NBA victory.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 points as San Antonio coped without Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker and Pau Gasol for a second consecutive night.

Australian Mills' haul included three assists and three steals and came a night after his game-high 20 points lifted the Spurs to a big win over Brooklyn.

In a back-and-forth fourth quarter that saw eight lead changes - after just two in the preceding 36 minutes - the Spurs finally took control on a floating jump shot from rookie Dejounte Murray with 1:29 to play.

In Orlando, Dwyane Wade scored 21 points, Jimmy Butler added 20 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Magic 100-92.
