Basketball Betting Lines

02/17/2012 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats' 16-game losing streak is over.

Reggie Williams scored 22 points, Corey Maggette had 16 and the Bobcats beat the Toronto Raptors, 98-91, on Friday night.

It was their first victory since January 14 and snapped a franchise-record skid that gave Charlotte the worst record in the NBA.

Williams carried the Bobcats in the first half, scoring 16 of his 22 points, while rookie Kemba Walker led them with 10 points in the second half. They out-scored Toronto 30-22 in the fourth quarter, beating the Raptors for the fifth straight time after sweeping last season's four-game series.

"It's wonderful to win and I think our bench really gave us a lift," said Bobcats coach Paul Silas.

Bismack Biyombo added a career-high 13 rebounds, seven blocks and eight points for Charlotte and D.J. Augustin scored 11 with 10 assists.

DeMar DeRozan had 24 points to lead Toronto, but just six after halftime as he got into foul trouble. Leandro Barbosa added 16 points off the bench but the Raptors lost their fourth straight and fell to 1-7 in their last 8 games.
