CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Chris Bosh scored all 24 of his points in the second half and added 11 rebounds to help the Toronto Raptors beat the injury-depleted Charlotte Bobcats 93-76 on Saturday night.
Bosh, who missed his first five shots and didn’t score until midway through the third quarter, dominated the inside after Charlotte lost leading rebounder Emeka Okafor to a strained left calf in the third quarter.
Bobcats leading scorer Gerald Wallace also left in the third quarter with a strained groin, and Charlotte quickly wilted as it snapped its team record-tying four-game winning streak.
Jose Calderon added 16 points and T.J. Ford scored 15 for the Raptors, who limited the Bobcats to 32 percent shooting to win for the 12th time in 15 games.
Matt Carroll and Adam Morrison scored 13 points apiece and Wallace had 12 before leaving for Charlotte, which had topped 100 points in each of its last four games.
