TORONTO --- Chris Bosh had 30 points and 10 rebounds, Jason Kapono scored 16 points and the Toronto Raptors beat the Atlanta Hawks 93-88 on Friday night.

Joey Graham added 11 points and Jamario Moon had 10 for Toronto, with guard Jose Calderon picking up 11 assists.

Mike Bibby scored 24 points for Atlanta, Joe Johnson had 18 and reserve Maurice Evans added 17.

Al Horford and Marvin Williams each had 10 points for the Hawks, who got 17 rebounds from Zaza Pachulia.

The Hawks, who came in with the NBA's highest 3-point shooting percentage, went 6-for-13 from beyond the arc in the first half, but were just 2 of 13 in the second.

Bosh arrived at Air Canada Centre less than an hour before the game after spending 50 minutes stuck in an elevator at his downtown condominium. The ordeal didn't stop him from scoring at least 30 points for the seventh time in 15 games this season.

Bosh wore a brace on his left knee in the first half, then added a wrap over the top of the brace in the second. He appeared to avoid landing on the leg while rebounding in the fourth quarter.

Leading 69-65 after three quarters, the Raptors began the fourth with an 8-2 run, taking a 77-67 lead with just over 10 minutes remaining.

A 3-pointer by Johnson and back-to-back jumpers by Williams helped cut the lead to 83-78 with six minutes left.

Kapono made a 3-pointer from the corner and, after Horford's basket, Bosh converted a 3-point play to make it 89-80, but Evans and Bibby had four points apiece in an 8-2 run as the Hawks cut it to 91-88 with 1:03 remaining.

Bosh rebounded Williams' miss with 17 seconds to play, allowing Kapono to seal it with a pair of free throws.
