Raptors Finally Win One

Life is a lot more enjoyable for the Toronto Raptors now that they have finally won a game.

“Everyone likes each other again,” said a chuckling Mike James after the host Raptors used a late 18-2 run to beat the Miami Heat, 107-94, on Sunday to end Toronto’s worst losing streak to start a season at nine.

Chris Bosh had a season-high 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Raptors.

Dwyane Wade had 33 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Heat.

Seattle 106, Sacramento 104 -- Ray Allen scored 21 of his 28 points in the second half at Seattle to rally the SuperSonics from an 11-point halftime deficit to their third straight victory. Peja Stojakovic led Sacramento with 25 points -- all in the first half -- before a third-period hand injury. He returned in the fourth quarter but took only one shot.

Indiana 85, Houston 74 -- Ron Artest scored 24 points at Indianapolis to help send the Rockets to their third straight loss. Yao Ming had 24 points and 13 rebounds for Houston.

Denver 99, Memphis 83 -- Marcus Camby had 21 points and 21 rebounds in the Nuggets’ 16th consecutive home win over the Grizzlies. Pau Gasol had 24 points and 12 rebounds for Memphis.

New York 103, Portland 92 -- Stephon Marbury scored a season-high 27 points to give Coach Larry Brown his first Knicks’ victory at Madison Square Garden. Marbury’s cousin Sebastian Telfair had a career-high 27 points for the Blazers.
