<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>TORONTO (CP) -- With the ball in his hands and the game on the line, Chris Bosh went to his favourite spot on the court _ the free-throw line. Bosh hit the deciding free throws with 3.4 seconds left as the Toronto Raptors stormed back for a 97-96 win Friday over the Milwaukee Bucks. Bosh finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds for his 30th double-double of the season as the Raptors (24-42) ended a nine-game home losing streak to the Bucks. After trailing by 16 points with fewer than six minutes remaining, Toronto ended the game on a 19-2 run to earn its first home win over Milwaukee since Nov. 18, 2000. Bosh, who is shooting a career-best 82 per cent from the line, said his transformation into one of the league's premier free-throw shooters comes down to focus. ``It's just all about concentration and repetition,'' said Bosh, who made all nine of his free throws Friday. ``Coach (Sam Mitchell) has confidence in me, he knows I can make plays, and I think he just wants to get me over the hump.'' Mitchell agreed. ``Free-throw shooting is personal,'' said Mitchell. ``You have to put the time, work and concentration in and he's done that with the understanding that he's going to have the ball a lot, (and) get fouled a lot.'' Bobby Simmons had 21 points and Toronto's Jamaal Magloire added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks (32-33), who saw their two-game winning streak come to an end. A dejected Magloire blamed a lack of intensity for the late-game collapse. ``We had a lead and we didn't execute when we had to,'' said Magloire. ``You have to give them credit. They had the fight in them in the fourth quarter that we need and they were able to win.'' Down 94-78 with 5:41 left, the Raptors reeled off 14 consecutive points to close to within two. After Bosh missed the potential tying shot, Michael Redd replied with a layup with 37.6 seconds remaining. Mike James answered with a three-pointer, and after Redd missed from 24 feet, the Raptors turned to Bosh. Taking the inbounds, the Raptors all-star was fouled by Simmons on a drive to the hoop, and calmly sank both free throws to send the ACC crowd of 17,273 into hysterics. Milwaukee had a chance for the win, but T.J. Ford's game-winning three-point attempt came well after the final horn sounded. ``The best thing about this win is how bad we were playing,'' said James, who shot just 5-for-16 to finish with 14 points. ``We couldn't do anything right. We were down all those points but we never stopped.'' Charlie Villanueva added 14 points while Morris Peterson had 12 for the Raptors, who went 22-for-23 from the line to mask an abysmal 39-per cent performance from the field. The Raptors were particularly frigid in the third quarter, shooting 28 per cent as the Bucks turned a 54-54 tie into a 77-66 advantage heading into the fourth. Bucks coach Terry Stotts said this loss would sting for a while. ``They made a lot of shots but we didn't close the game out,'' said Stotts. ``This was a game we needed to have and we should have come away with a win.'' Redd finished with 17 points while rookie centre Andrew Bogut, making his first appearance in Toronto, had six points and four rebounds in 24 minutes for the Bucks. Cheered by a small throng of supporters waving Australian flags, Bogut showed flashes of why he was the taken first overall in the 2005 draft. The seven-footer displayed deft touch on a first-quarter layup and made a nifty pass to Michael Redd for an easy dunk in the second. Magloire wasted no time creating a stir in front of the hometown crowd, bowling over Raptors centre Pape Sow with a powerful dunk on the game's opening possession. The Bucks rode the momentum _ and four quick Toronto turnovers _ to a 10-2 lead, but Peterson and Bosh combined for 13 first-quarter points to even things up at 27-27 after one. The Raptors came out cold in the second _ missing their first five shots _ but the Bucks couldn't take advantage, as Redd missed a pair of easy finger rolls and several other Milwaukee players clanked mid-range jumpers. Magloire kept Milwaukee in front, scoring five points late in the half as the Bucks enjoyed a 49-46 lead at the break. Toronto committed nine turnovers in the half after averaging just 13 per game on the season. Notes: Milwaukee fell to 14-7 lifetime in Toronto. ... Peterson executed a rare four-point play in the first quarter, banking in a three as he was fouled by Redd. ... Bogut is one of only two players to rank in the top-10 among rookies in points, rebounds and assists. Hornets G Chris Paul is the other. ... Raptors G Andre Barrett had four points in 16 minutes in his second game since signing a 10-day contract Wednesday. He hit the floor hard on his first basket, a driving layup late in the second quarter. ... Toronto hits the road for games Tuesday in New York and Wednesday in Boston.</div>http://www.nba.com/raptors/news/postup_060317.html
Didn't get to see the game but it sounds great. I stayed at a hotel and watched a movie with my parents and my bro. I like to hear that Chris stepped it up and won it for us though.
