Chris Bosh led Toronto with 41 points, tying a career high. Bosh left briefly after being hit above the left eye by James, who was going for a steal, late in the third quarter. Bosh, who was bleeding, went to the locker room for stitches and returned early in the fourth quarter.

Zach Randolph had two baskets during the closing minutes and finished with 20 points for New York, which opened its first double-digit lead of the season in the first half, then blew all of it before recovering to win for the first time since the third game of the season.

Golden State 100, at Philadelphia 98 (OT): Kelenna Azubuike made a three-point basket from the left corner with 6.1 seconds left in overtime and the Warriors finished a five-game trip with a 4-1 record, their first winning record on a trip of five or more games since December 1980.
