Knicks-Raptors Preview

After watching from home as the Toronto Raptors lost their fourth straight, Chris Bosh is eager to get back on the court and help his team create a little more breathing room in the Eastern Conference standings.

Bosh is expected to return Friday night as the Raptors go for their third win over the New York Knicks in as many tries this season.

With their star forward sidelined six games by a sprained left ankle, Toronto (31-28) struggled defensively, allowing opponents to average 113.2 points over the last five games and losing the last four. Bosh is expected to play Friday for the first time since Feb. 17.

Before Bosh got hurt, the Raptors had won eight of 10. He didn't make the trip to Houston on Monday as Toronto lost 116-92, and now he returns with the team only three games ahead of ninth-place Charlotte in the East.

"We have 23 games left," Bosh said. "You lose two or three in a row and you're on the outside looking in. ... It's going to be a photo finish at the end and every game is important now. This is the part of the season I've been waiting on."

Bosh, averaging team highs of 24.5 points and 11.4 rebounds, insists he is not rushing back too early and that the injury is 100 percent healed.

"My ankle is feeling really good," Bosh said. "I've been working on conditioning every day trying to get that back ... (We need) to put those two weeks behind us and improve on our defense."

Bosh's return is certainly an unwelcome sight for the Knicks. He finished with 27 points and 15 rebounds in a 106-104 win at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 28 in the most recent meeting. Bosh has averaged 23.4 points in his last 20 matchups with New York and the Raptors have gone 15-5.

The Knicks (21-39) are coming off their second win in 12 games, 128-104 over Detroit on Wednesday. They shot 55.3 percent and had four players score at least 20 points.

Bill Walker, who made his first career start in place of Wilson Chandler (personal reasons), had a career-high 22 points while Al Harrington went 6 of 8 from 3-point range and scored 26.

Harrington is averaging 28.0 points in the last four games while shooting 57.1 percent (20 of 35) from 3-point range.

The Knicks also received a solid performance from Tracy McGrady, who had 21 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in his seventh game with his new team. Still making his way back from knee surgery, McGrady scored six points combined in his previous two games.

"Today was one of those days where I actually felt like my old self as far as my movements and my timing and everything, my rhythm," McGrady said. "I felt like I had another step."

New York, allowing an average of 113.0 points on 50.9 percent shooting over the last 12 games, is looking to win back-to-back contests for the first time since a three-game winning streak Jan. 1-7.

Raps take down Knicks without Bosh in lineup

TORONTO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Raptors knew coming into the game that getting a win against the New York Knicks wasn't going to be easy. What they didn't know was that they were going to have to get it without the services of Chris Bosh.

In a 102-96 victory over the Knicks the Raptors were without Bosh for his seventh consecutive game. One day after saying he felt 110 percent after missing six games with an ankle sprain, Bosh woke up on Friday morning violently ill with stomach cramps that not only sidelined him from the game, but sent him to the hospital and had him receiving intravenous fluids

Even without Bosh, the Knicks defense was unable to stop Toronto from getting the looks that they wanted.

"We didn't stop them," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I just didn't think we had the necessary gumption to get up in them and guard a little man-to-man and stop it. We couldn't do it. They scored every time."

Amir Johnson got the start in place of Bosh, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds filling in for the All-Star. What many of his teammates didn't know was that Johnson, too, was feeling under the weather.

"He [Coach Jay Triano] told me at shootaround that I was starting," a scratchy-voiced Johnson said. "I just kind of took a deep breath and was ready to go. I knew I was sick, but I kind of kept it to myself. I didn't stress it out, I just got some rest and came back for the game."

While Johnson pushed through for his team, another unlikely hero came through to help him. With Hedo Turkoglu limited in the second half of his first game back from an ankle sprain, reserve guard Sonny Weems came off of the bench and scored a career-high 20 points to lead the Raptors. He pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and scored 10 of his 20 in the fourth quarter.

With Andrea Bargnani struggling offensively --and then taking a hit to the head that required him to go back to the locker room and receive three staples to close the laceration- the boost from Weems was what the doctor ordered Friday night in Toronto.

"Sonny was outstanding," Raptors coach Jay Triano said.

In a game that had 16 lead changes, the Raptors led by one at the half and again at the end of the third. While Toronto went ahead by as many as nine points in the final quarter, they were unable to shake the Knicks until the final minutes. Down the stretch Jarrett Jack and Bargnani both hit big shots to hold off New York.

"After that loss in Houston, we talked about everyone trying to do too much and be that one dude with Chris out," Weems explained. "All we had to do was play as a team and move the ball."

Practicing what they preached, the Raptors snapped a four-game skid with a balanced scoring attack, something that had been missing in the games without Bosh. Jose Calderon scored 16 points off of the bench, Jack added 14 and Turkoglu scored 12 points to go with nine rebounds.

David Lee led the Knicks with 23 points and 18 rebounds, but he was unable to protect the paint as the Raptors scored 62 of their points inside. Wilson Chandler scored 18 and Tracy McGrady added 13 in the loss.

"As good as they are at home, with Bosh not playing, we should have won this game," Lee said. "No matter what quarter we didn't play well in, with Bosh not playing it's a game we should have won."

While the emergence of Weems has been a surprise for many watching at home, the second-year swingman won over teammate Jarrett Jack since the beginning days of training camp.

"Me and Sonny had a long talk after I first saw him play," Jack said. "Coming home from training camp, I told him, 'I think you can be a special, special player on this level. I'm not sure if you have the confidence in yourself because you haven't been able to play yet, or gotten the opportunity to. Just know that I think you can do it and if you come in here focused with the right mindset trying to get better every single day, use each and every opportunity as an experience then I really think you can establish yourself on this level.'"

From Denver to the D-League, being traded to Milwaukee and then Toronto, 23 year-old Weems is just happy to play.

"Basketball is fun," Weems said. "It's just something you happen to get paid for that you've been doing your whole life. You wake up every morning and you love it. I'm glad that I got a chance with the Toronto Raptors. Coach Triano has trusted me to get out there and play for him. I'm just glad that I am getting this opportunity. I feel blessed."
