TORONTO, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Chris Bosh scored a team-high 21 points Sunday, helping the Toronto Raptors rally past the Houston Rockets 93-80.
Bosh had missed the last five games with a strained groin.
The winners started slowly and faced a 22-16 deficit after the first period. It grew to 45-34 at the half before a 28-11 third gave them a six-point lead at 62-56 heading into the final period.
Toronto also got 16 points and nine rebounds from Kris Humphries, 12 points from Carlos Delfino and 11 from Anthony Parker.
Bosh, one of the NBA's leading rebounders, added 10 boards and four blocked shots for the Raptors, who ended a two-game skid.
Houston was led by Tracy McGrady's 23 points, four assists and three rebounds.
Yao Ming had 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks, while Bonzi Wells, the only other Houston player in double figures, scored 12 points for the Rockets, who had their modest two-game winning streak snapped.
