Bosh, Hedo and Co. deliver when it matters most

Toronto Raptors Turkish forward Hedo Türkoğlu (R) and Atlanta’s Josh Smith chase down a loose ball during their NBA match.
19 March 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
The Toronto Raptors were desperate for a win. Coming home from a disastrous 0-4 West Coast road trip to face the Atlanta Hawks, they needed to get on track.
It took one of the best games in DeMar DeRozan’s young career and a game-winner from Chris Bosh to secure a thrilling 106-105 NBA victory in Toronto on Wednesday night. Bosh scored with 2.1 seconds left to end a five-game losing streak.

Turkish forward Hedo Türkoğlu added 16 points with five rebounds and three assists for the Raptors. Bosh was 6 of 19 from the field and finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds. He made a second-quarter layup to become the first player in franchise history to reach the 10,000-point plateau.

Jamal Crawford had a season-high 33 points for the Hawks, who had won four straight and 10 of their last 13.

In Salt Lake City, Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 11 rebounds as the Utah Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-100 to keep pace in the Western Conference. Turkish forward Mehmet Okur scored 14 points with five rebounds and three assists for the Jazz.

Other NBA results: Charlotte 100, Oklahoma City 92; Cleveland 99, Indiana 94; Philadelphia 108, New Jersey 97; Boston 109, New York 97; Orlando 110, San Antonio 84; Dallas 113, Chicago 106; Houston 107, Memphis 94; Golden State 131, New Orleans 121; LA Clippers 101, Milwaukee 93.
