ATLANTA – Chris Bosh scored 24 points and Morris Peterson had 21 to help the Toronto Raptors beat the Atlanta Hawks 103-91 on Friday night.

Winners of five of six, the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors improved to 24-23, the first time since 2001-02 that they’ve been over .500 this late in a season.

Bosh had 10 rebounds to lead Toronto in points and boards for the 29th time in his 35 games.

Atlanta, which never led after Josh Smith’s dunk made it 4-2, couldn’t recover after an unnecessary push-off foul on Zaza Pachulia following a missed 3 by Anthony Parker, allowed Peterson to hit a 3 for a 100-87 lead with 4:16 remaining.

Joe Johnson led the Hawks, who had won four of five, with 28 points. Smith had 26 points and 12 rebounds.

Toronto has 21 victories since Nov. 24, when the official scorer in Atlanta failed to credit T.J. Ford with a basket that would’ve given the Raptors a late tie and an opportunity to change the complexion of a 97-93 loss.

Peterson was 5-for-7 beyond the arc.
