Bobcats, Raptors meet in Toronto

 
04.9.2006

(Basketball News) - The Toronto Raptors try to halt a seven-game losing streak today when they welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to Air Canada Centre.

This is the fourth and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. The Raptors have won all three contests and are 5-1 all-time against the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are 0-2 at Toronto.

Toronto has not won a game since March 24th when it defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 97-77, in front of its fans. On Friday, David West scored 19 points and collected nine rebounds to lead to the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets to a hard-fought 95-89 victory over the Raptors at the Ford Center.

Mike James poured in a game-high 36 points in the loss to the Hornets for Toronto, while rookie Charlie Villanueva netted 14 and pulled down nine boards.

The Raptors are 14-24 as the host this season.

On Thursday, Richard Jefferson scored a season-high 40 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, as the New Jersey Nets tied a franchise- record with their 14th straight win, 113-102 over the Bobcats at Continental Airlines Arena.

Rookie Raymond Felton had 20 points and seven assists, and Primoz Brezec netted 16 in the loss to New Jersey for the Bobcats, who have lost three of their last four games overall.

Charlotte is a dismal 6-32 on the road this season. It has dropped seven straight as the visitor.
