Raptors rally to beat Bosh
For the first time, the Toronto Raptors know what getting a win over Chris Bosh feels like. DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Kyle Lowry added 21 and the Raptors erased an 11-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the Miami Heat 108-94 on Friday night.
Luis Scola scored 20, Terrence Ross finished with 17 and James Johnson added 13 for the Raptors, who outscored Miami 58-39 after halftime.
The Heat had been 12-0 when facing Toronto with Bosh in the lineup against his former team and, more important, was denied what would have been its first four-game winning streak since the 2014 playoffs.
Dwyane Wade scored 21 points, Gerald Green had 20 and Goran Dragic scored 18 for the Heat.
