"On a road trip that saw futility streaks broken left and right, the Raptors saved one more for the finale.

First it was a win in Phoenix that ended the Raptors' 14-game losing skid in the desert. Then it was another against Utah on their home court, something the Raps had not done for 12 consecutive games.

Sunday in New Jersey, the Raptors got their first victory against a team that included Deron Williams.

The Jersey point guard had played the Raptors 14 times previously as a member of first the Jazz and then the New Jersey Nets. In all 14 games, Williams went home a winner — until Sunday."
