Chris Bosh poured in 31 points to go with 14 rebounds to top Toronto (30-46). Andrea Bargnani finished with 18 points, Anthony Parker had 15, Shawn Marion finished with 13 and Jose Calderon added 12.

David Lee and Quentin Richardson had 16 points apiece for the Knicks (30-47), who snapped a five-game losing skid on the road, and won for their first time in their last 10 visits to Toronto.

The game was the second of back-to-back matchups between the two teams, the Raptors having topped New York 102-95 Saturday to bounce the Knicks from the playoffs.

The Raptors entered the game tied with Denver for the longest winning streak in the league, and holding onto a glimmer of hope their late-season surge could put them in the post-season.

The Raptors played well for all of one quarter yesterday. They struggled defensively, and were ineffective against the Knicks' long-range shooting.

Toronto pulled within seven points several times in the fourth, but the Knicks responded each time. When Marion connected on a jumper with just over three minutes left to cut the deficit to seven, Al Harrington calmly drained a three.

Harrington would score two more baskets in the final minute to seal the victory, and dozens of fans were already departing the Air Canada Centre when the final buzzer sounded.
