Point guard Brevin Knight didn't play in the second half because of back
spasms.
Charlotte beat Houston in double overtime on Tuesday, and the Bobcats seemed
to tire in the final minutes as Toronto finished the game on a 11-1 run.
James started the run with two free throws, giving Toronto the lead for good
with 2:12 left
Peterson followed with a key 3-pointer that gave Toronto an 89-85 lead with
1:25 remaining.
After Bosh made two free throws, James had a steal and a fastbreak layup to
make it 93-85 with 58 seconds left.
Toronto outscored Charlotte 32-23 in the fourth quarter.
The Raptors went on a season-high five-game winning streak before losing two
in a row. They seemed to take the undermanned Bobcats lightly as they trailed by
12 points at halftime. Fans booed the Raptors in the final seconds of the half
as Charlotte finished the second quarter on a 10-0 run that included four
layups.
