BEIJING, Jan. 19 -- The Toronto Raptors used the strong play of Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani to turn back the Dallas Mavericks 110-88 on Sunday.
Bosh had 23 points and 13 rebounds and Bargnani added 22 points as Toronto won for the seventh time in its last eight home games.
"We came out ready and didn't have any lapses," Toronto guard Jarrett Jack, who had 11 points and seven assists, told reporters. "We were able to put a very good team away early."
The victory lifted the Atlantic Division's No. 2 team above the .500 mark to 21-20. The Raptors trail the idle Boston Celtics by 7 1/2 games.
Southwest leader Dallas (26-14) was led by Dirk Nowitzki's 19 points and Jason Terry's 18.

In the day's only other National Basketball Association game, Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points and Chauncey Billups added 29 in the Denver Nuggets' 119-112 win over Utah that snapped the Jazz' four-game winning streak.
In Toronto, the hosts overcame a 20-23 first-quarter deficit to outscore the Mavericks by 16 points in the second quarter. They were never threatened after that, leading by 26 points late in the fourth.
"That was a great win for us against the second-best team in the West," said Toronto's Jose Calderon. "We played for 48 minutes, everyone was ready to play and do things on the court."
