TORONTO, March 15 (UPI) -- Andrea Bargnani's 27 points with nine rebounds Sunday led Toronto to an easy 110-87 victory over the Indiana Pacers, breaking its seven-game losing streak.
The 7-foot power forward has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven contests, and Sunday he overcame a recent bout with flu-like symptoms.
Toronto used a 37-19 third quarter to seize control after a slim 53-50 halftime advantage.
Reserve Pops Mensah-Bonsu scored 21 with seven rebounds. Chris Bosh had 15 points and 13 rebounds, while Jose Calderon scored 15 with 11 assists. Two others scored in double figures for the Raptors, who had not won since beating the Minnesota Timberwolves Feb. 24.
Troy Murphy led Indiana with 16 points and 10 rebounds. T.J. Ford scored 15 with six assists.
Jarrett Jack scored 13 with three rebounds, but leading scorer Danny Granger was held to 10 points for the Pacers, who have lost four of five.
