By ROB GILLIES, Associated Press Writer January 31, 2007 TORONTO (AP) -- Chris Bosh scored 34 points and Jose Calderon had a career-high 24 points and 11 assists to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 119-109 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. Toronto shot a season-high 59 percent and scored a franchise-record 43 points in the third quarter. Bosh even made a buzzer-beating 56-foot jumper after stealing an inbounds pass, giving Toronto a 17-point lead after three quarters. Bosh made 15 straight field goals after missing his first four shots of the game. The All-Star forward finished 15-for-19 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds. Calderon's previous career high was 20 points on Nov. 2, 2005 against New Jersey. Toronto's backup point guard finished 10-for-13 from the field. Calderon started in place of T.J. Ford, who played but remains bothered by a sore right ankle. Ford had four points and two assists in 16 minutes. Gilbert Arenas had 27 points for the Wizards, who also lost in Toronto on Jan. 7. Washington's Antawn Jamison missed the game with an injured right knee. He'll have an MRI on Thursday. Toronto never trailed after Bosh made a hook shot with 7:32 left in the first quarter. Bosh had nine points and Toronto led by as many as 15 in the first quarter. Washington's Antonio Daniels had 12 points in the second quarter and the Wizards cut the lead to eight by halftime. Bosh had 16 points as Toronto outscored Washington 43-34 in the third. The Raptors (23-23) reached .500 again. They are 15-7 on their home court -- including a 11-2 mark against Eastern Conference opponents. Notes Toronto's Andrea Bargnani and Jorge Garbajosa made the rookie All-Star team, but Calderon didn't make the sophomore team. "It would have been nice, but I don't think we need Dr. Phil to come talk to us," coach Sam Mitchell joked. ... Jamison collided with teammate DeShawn Stevenson under the basket with 6:29 remaining in the first quarter of Wednesday's game. Updated on Wednesday, Jan 31, 2007 9:40 pm EST |
