NBA Roundup
Host Toronto won its first game of the season by beating first-place Miami, ending the Raptors’ longest losing streak since 2003.
Chris Bosh had a season-high 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Raptors, who opened the season 0-9 - the worst start in their 11-year history. Mike James added 25 points for Toronto.
The Raptors went on an 18-2 run late in the fourth to seal the victory and ended their longest losing streak since a 12-game skid from Dec. 18, 2002 to Jan. 10, 2003.
Toronto’s win leaves the Atlanta Hawks as the NBA’s only winless team.

Noteworthy: O’Neal sprained his ankle Nov. 3 and still is at least one week away from returning to the lineup.
