Raptors make a stop in Sacramento
Basketball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The reeling Toronto Raptors aim to right the ship tonight
as they resume a four-game western road trip against the Sacramento Kings.
The Raptors are now fighting for their playoff lives after dropping the opener
of their trek in Los Angeles on Tuesday, their sixth loss in seven games
overall. Kobe Bryant played hero again in that one, sinking the winning jumper
from the right baseline with 1.9 seconds left, as the Lakers snapped a three-
game skid of their own with a 109-107 victory over Toronto.
Bryant, who missed a potential winning three-pointer at the end of regulation
in a 106-105 loss in Toronto on January 24, scored 32 points, dished out six
assists and had six rebounds. He also missed the potential tying shot on
Sunday in Orlando, but came through in a huge way Tuesday at Staples Center.
"They didn't come early at me and I got the shot off," Bryant said. "That's
part of my responsibility, to close teams out. Our defense tonight was
garbage. We have to focus on execution."
Chris Bosh hit the tying three-pointer with 9.5 seconds left in regulation and
finished with 22 points for Toronto, which has lost eight straight on the road
against the Lakers. Andrea Bargnani added 21 points and Jarrett Jack notched
18 points, seven boards and seven assists.
"It was no secret he was going to take the shot," Toronto coach Jay Triano
said of Bryant's game-winner. "We ran two guys at him and he still made it."
The Raptors still stand sixth in the Eastern Conference playoff picture but
are just 1 1/2 games ahead of ninth place Chicago.
The postseason is just a dream for Sacramento, which dropped its third
straight game in Portland last night when Brandon Roy scored 19 points and
pulled down eight rebounds as the Blazers beat the Kings for the fifth
straight time, 88-81, at the Rose Garden.
Rookie of the Year candidate Tyreke Evans had 18 points, six rebounds and six
assists for the Kings. Carl Landry scored 17 and Beno Udrih 13, but Sacramento
was held without a point for a key three-minute stretch late in the game.
"We just didn't convert or execute down the stretch and that is something we
have to learn how to do, being a young team," Landry said. "We have great
talent in this locker room, we just have to learn how to execute down the
stretch when the game is on the line."
Toronto has won three straight and five of its last six over the Kings,
including a 115-104 win north of the border on Feb. 7.
