TORONTO, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani each scored 20 points Wednesday and Toronto pulled away in the final quarter to defeat New Jersey 108-99.
The Nets, winners just four times all season, found themselves in a 78-78 tie with 2:15 to go in the third period. New Jersey, however, did not score another point in the quarter and managed just one during the opening 2 minutes of the fourth period.
Antoine Wright added 18 points, his highest point total of the season, in helping the Raptors win for the sixth time in seven outings. Sonny Weems had career highs of 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Yi Jianlian and Devin Harris had 15 each for the Nets. After 48 games, New Jersey has the same number of victories Philadelphia had at this stage of the 1972-73 campaign, when the 76ers set the all-time NBA record for fewest victories in an 82-game season. Philadelphia won nine games that year.
Toronto is 16-0 this season when holding its opponents to less than 100 points.
