 TORONTO (AP) - T.J. Ford has the Toronto Raptors in first place in the Atlantic Division, even without Chris Bosh. Ford scored 28 points and Anthony Parker added 19 to lead Toronto to a 100-97 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
The Raptors are 6-4 without Bosh (sore left knee), their leading scorer. He isn't expected back until Jan. 3 when Toronto hosts Phoenix.
"With Chris being out I think the team really depends on me," Ford said. "They are looking for me to put up points and take the shots and continue to put pressure on the defense. Right now I'm just in a groove."
