With another monster game in the books, Chris Bosh led the Toronto Raptors to a 115-104 NBA victory over the Sacramento Kings in Toronto. After the game he acknowledged that he is playing the best basketball of his career.
“Everything feels great,” Bosh said. “My body feels good. I feel that the team is playing better and I just feel like, I said this season coming in I want to be the best forward in the league.”

On Sunday afternoon, Bosh finished with 36 points on 14-for-18 shooting while adding 11 rebounds and five assists. Bosh had a lot of help in the victory Turkish forward Hedo Türkoğlu had 16 points in his first game back since suffering a non-displaced fracture in his orbital bone. Andrea Bargnani scored 22 points and added eight rebounds for the Raptors.

While DeMar DeRozan, Türkoğlu and Jose Calderon returned to the lineup for the Raptors, they were without reserve Marco Belinelli who was inactive with a sore left ankle.

Kevin Martin scored 24 points and Spencer Hawes had 14 for the Kings, who have won just three of their past 20 and are 3-22 on the road.

Elsewhere in Boston, Vince Carter led a 19-0 surge in the third quarter and finished with 20 points as the Orlando Magic beat Boston 96-89, moving ahead of the Celtics and into second place in the Eastern Conference.

Carter scored nine points during a rally that began after Rajon Rondo’s 3-pointer gave the Celtics a 60-51 lead with 7:17 left in the third quarter -- Boston’s fourth and final field goal of the period.

The Magic turned a 51-40 halftime deficit into a 76-62 lead after the third and stayed in front by at least five points the rest of the way.

Dwight Howard had 16 points and 13 rebounds for Orlando. Rondo scored 17 points and Ray Allen added 13 for the Celtic.
