Raptors cave down stretch
The Raptors trailed 32-29 after the first, despite their best opening-quarter output all season. They also posted a season-best for points in a half, 61, behind 21 from Ford.

“Teams are coming in here with the confidence that they are going to win, so we have to find a way to eliminate that thought process,” said Ford.

Toronto dropped its fourth of five games at home and now embarks on a three-game road trip to Dallas, Memphis and Cleveland.

“We’re still in a better position than we have been in since I’ve been here,” said Bosh. “I know we are not playing as well as we can right now, but we’re still .500 and in the middle of the Eastern Conference, as opposed to the bottom.”
