NBA: Toronto 100, Cleveland 93

CLEVELAND, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Vince Carter had 22 points and Chris Bosh 14 as Toronto extended its season-high winning streak to five games with a 100-93 victory over Cleveland.

Cleveland's 18-year-old LeBron James was the first overall pick in the draft while the 19-year-old Bosh was chosen fourth and was a virtual unknown. Both are having strong seasons, but it is Bosh that is learning what it's like to win in the NBA.
