TORONTO (AP)\u2014Andrea Bargnani<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 33 points, DeMar DeRozan<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 30 and
\nthe Toronto Raptors<\/a> beat Washington 116-107 on Friday night, handing the hapless
\nWizards their 13th loss in 14 games.<\/p>\n

Jose Calderon<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 17 points and Leandro Barbosa<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 15 for the Raptors,
\nwho won for just the sixth time in 31 games. Toronto had lost seven of nine.<\/p>\n

Washington rookie Trevor Booker<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> fouled out after scoring a career-high 26
\npoints and matching his career best with 13 rebounds. One game after scoring a
\ncareer-high 27 points, rookie Jordan Crawford<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 25 for the Wizards.<\/p>\n

John Wall<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 21 points and Maurice Evans<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 15. JaVale McGee<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 11
\npoints and 12 rebounds for the Wizards, who have lost six straight away from
\nhome since their only road victory of the season at NBA-worst Cleveland on Feb.
\n13.<\/p>\n

Washington is 1-31 on the road, where it must play nine of its final 15
\ngames.<\/p>\n

Toronto led 98-87 with 6:25 left before Washington trimmed the gap to 98-96
\nwith a 9-0 run that featured two dunks by Evans, one from McGee and a follow
\nslam by Booker.<\/p>\n

Bargnani stopped the run with a layup and, after Wall made two free throws,
\nhe and Reggie Evans<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> each made a pair from the line, giving Toronto a 104-98 lead
\nwith 2:14 left. Washington did not challenge again.<\/p>\n

Andray Blatche<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> missed his fourth straight game with a sore right shoulder,
\nwhile Josh Howard<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Nick Young<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> both missed their second straight with left
\nknee injuries. For the second straight game, Washington started three rookies:
\nBooker, Wall and Crawford.<\/p>\n

Bargnani scored 12 points and DeRozan had 10 in the first as the Raptors
\nmade 10 of 11 from the line to open a 33-27 lead. Booker had a strong opening
\nquarter for the Wizards, with 12 points and five rebounds. The forward made six
\nof his first seven shots, including three dunks.<\/p>\n

Washington used a 16-2 run to take a 43-37 lead with 7:45 left in the
\nsecond, but Calderon hit consecutive jumpers, including a 3, and DeRozan added a
\nputback dunk to restore the Raptors lead. DeRozan had eight in the quarter to
\ngive Toronto a 62-53 lead at the half.<\/p>\n

Crawford scored 10 points in the third, but Bargnani had 11 and DeRozan
\nadded eight for the Raptors, who took an 88-77 lead into the fourth.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Bargnani set career highs for free throws made (15) and attempted
\n(18). \u2026 Othyus Jeffers<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who signed a 10-day contract Wednesday, made his
\nWizards debut. He did not score in 12 minutes. \u2026 As they did in Wednesday\u2019s
\nloss at Detroit, the Raptors wore green uniforms for St. Patrick\u2019s Day. \u2026 The
\nRaptors play their next five games on the road against Western Conference
\nopponents. They don\u2019t return home until March 30. \u2026 Actor Samuel L. Jackson
\nattended the game.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
