Raptors End Nets' Playoff Chances

Posted Apr 11, 08 10:08 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Carlos Delfino scored 24 points, Chris Bosh had 21 and the Toronto Raptors eliminated New Jersey from playoff contention with a 112-85 victory Friday. Vince Carter had 21 points and Devin Harris added 19 for the Nets, who last missed the playoffs in the 2001 season. Philadelphia's loss to Indiana moved Toronto into sixth place in the East with three games remaining.

T.J. Ford and Andrea Bargnani each had 14 as the Raptors rallied from a 14-point deficit in the second quarter to beat the Nets for the third time in four games this season. Booed every time he touched the ball, Carter blew a kiss to the Toronto crowd after making a third-quarter free throw, bringing even more howls of derision.
