Bosh, Raptors beat the Heat

Basketball Betting Lines

11/16/2008 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Bosh scored a team-high 27 points and had seven rebounds, and Jermaine O'Neal had 11 points and 18 boards as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Miami Heat, 107-96, at Air Canada Centre.

Will Solomon chipped in with 15 points and a career-high 11 assists, while Andrea Bargnani had 12 points for the Raptors, who snapped a brief two-game losing skid. Toronto has won five straight over Miami.

Dwyane Wade had a game-high 29 points and added eight assists, and rookie Michael Beasley had 13 points and six boards for the Heat, who have lost three of their last five.

With the Heat clinging to a 54-50 lead after one half, Toronto opened the third quarter with a 9-4 run and, after a layup by O'Neal, had a four-point advantage. However, Miami would quickly re-tie the game again and both teams would go back-and-forth, trading the lead for the rest of the period with the Raptors holding a slim 80-78 lead after three.

In the fourth, the hosts extended the lead, going on a 16-1 run to start the quarter and a three by Solomon stretched the lead to 96-81 with 4:52 remaining. But Miami wouldn't go quietly. Led by Wade, who scored six straight as part of a 10-0 run, the Heat cut the deficit to 96-91 with 1:36 left. Anthony Parker then dropped two free throws to put the Raptors up by seven 12 ticks later. A dunk by Bosh followed by a layup from O'Neal gave Toronto a 102-94 lead with 44 seconds to go. The hosts would make their foul shots in the final seconds to clinch the victory.

With the Raptors holding a 29-27 lead after one quarter, the Heat went ahead by one point after a Daequan Cook three-pointer 2:31 into the second. Bosh then made one of two from the free throw line to tie things at 34-34 about a minute later.

Both teams then took turns exchanging the lead for the next several minutes, but six straight points by Wade and a three by Cook, gave the Heat a 54-48 edge in the final seconds of the first half. A Bargnani layup made it a 54-50 game in favor of Miami heading into the intermission.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
