Raptors finally pick up some wins

NBA

Chris Bosh scored a season-high 29 points and Morris Peterson added 24 Saturday to lead the Toronto Raptors to their third win of the season and second road victory in two nights, 95-82 over New Jersey.

Playing without second-leading scorer Mike James, sidelined because of lower back soreness, Toronto improved to 3-15 and shed the dubious distinction of having the NBA's worst record. Atlanta, which lost to the Raptors on Friday night, is 2-13.

Jason Kidd led the Nets (7-9) with 17 points, and Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson had 15 apiece.

Clippers 102, Cavaliers 90

At Los Angeles, Elton Brand had 30 points and nine rebounds, Corey Maggette scored 24 points and Chris Kaman had a career-high 19 rebounds as the Los Angeles Clippers downed Cleveland.

LeBron James had 30 points for the Cavaliers, who beat Los Angeles 112-105 in overtime four nights earlier in Cleveland. The Cavs have lost four of five following an eight-game winning streak.

Grizzlies 90, Rockets 75

At Houston, Damon Stoudamire scored 24 points and Memphis hit a franchise-record 15 3-pointers en route to its fifth straight victory.

Stoudamire was 6-for-7 on 3-pointers and Bobby Jackson went 5-for-8, Jackson finished with a season-high 18 points.

Yao Ming led Houston with 29 points.
