MIAMI - The Toronto Raptors have been the toast of the NBA over the last 10 days. Theyve won five straight and grabbed a four-game lead in the Atlantic Division.

Patrick Patterson added 18 points, Amir Johnson scored 17 and Terrence Jones notched 14 for the Raptors, who got their third straight win over the Wizards, but only their second in their last seven trips to Washington. They are 9-2 with a new-look roster after trading Rudy Gay and 7-1 in their last eight road games. "Winning is contagious, and were making winning plays. Its not about making extra passes," Lowry said. "Its about winning and how you win is by making extra passes, so everyone is making extra passes, so everybody wants to win. Its not the fancy passes." The Heat have won 13 straight against the Raptors, including two this season, both in Toronto. Miami has taken seven in a row in South Beach. After a 123-114 loss at home the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, the Heat trounced the Orlando Magic, 110-94 on the road Saturday night. LeBron James only shot 5-for-13 en route to 15 points as it was someone elses turn for the Heat. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade scored 20 points apiece for Miami, which has won three of four and nine of its last 11. Bosh shot 9-of-9 from the field as the Heat won their 22nd straight game against the Southeast Division. "CB is our rock," praised Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. "Hes doing it on both ends. Hes a true two-way player. Hes dynamic, hes unique." Rashard Lewis made his second start of the season for an injured Shane Battier and donated 18 points. James 15-point output was a season low, but he chipped in eight rebounds and eight assists. "Tonight was one of those games where I didnt have to put too much pressure on scoring," said James. "I just tried to get my guys involved, tried to get some rebounds." The Heat host New Orleans on Tuesday, then hit the road for six straight. Dion Lewis Titans Jersey .

Washington got some good news off the field, too. Zimmerman singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the 10th, and Jayson Werth homered and had three RBIs to lead the Nationals to a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night. Ross Detwiler (1-2), one of six Washington pitchers, tossed a scoreless ninth to earn the victory. Philadelphias season-best, five-game winning streak was snapped. The Nationals also found out on Saturday that right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, who had Tommy John surgery in August 2009, doesnt have structural damage to his throwing shoulder or elbow now. Zimmermann abruptly left Fridays start in the fourth inning due to arm pain. However, an MRI revealed a biceps strain that likely wont cost him a start. "Thats a big relief for us," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. Zimmermann was slated to participate in his second straight All-Star Game on Tuesday, but he wont make the trip to Minneapolis. He was replaced on the NL roster by Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez. "I feel pretty good today," Zimmermann said. "I expect it to get better every day." His teammates were feeling good, as well, after gutting out an extra-inning win over Philadelphia. "Huge win coming back with a day game (Sunday) right before the All-Star break," Ryan Zimmerman said. Rafael Soriano struck out the side in the 10th for his 22nd save. Washingtons Stephen Strasburg struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings and was in line for the victory before Ben Reveres RBI single with two outs in the eighth tied it 3-3. Marlon Byrd had two hits and two RBIs, and Revere had a pair of hits for the Phillies. The Nationals went ahead in the 10th against Jake Diekman (3-3). Denard Span led off with a walk, and after Anthony Rendon lined out to right, Werth hit a chopper to second baseman Chase Utley. He tried to get the force at second, but Span was safe. "I thought we had a play," Utley said. "It didnt work out in our favour. It was a big play. I tried to get it to him quickly. It didnt work." Diekman struck out Adam LaRoche before Zimmerman singled to centre to score Span and give the Nationals a 4-3 lead. "Hes been clutch his whole career," Strasburg said. Werth went to third on Revveres throw and scored on a wild pitch.dddddddddddd Diekman was ejected by home-plate umpire Andy Fletcher following the inning. "I asked, Were any of those close?" Diekman said. "With a smirk on his face, he said, What pitches? With a grin on his face, he told me I was kicked out of the game. Thats literally what I said." Strasburg gave up two runs and seven hits in a matchup of aces with Philadelphias Cole Hamels. "He made pitches when he had to," Williams said. Hamels surrendered three runs and four hits, striking out five and walking three, in seven strong innings. It was the 11th time in 13 starts the left-hander has gone at least seven innings, but he continued to be a victim of lack of run support. The Phillies offence averaged 6.2 runs during their winning streak but managed just two for Hamels. The Nationals got on the board in the first when Span scored on Werths groundout. Ian Desmond, who returned to the lineup after missing Fridays game with a right thumb injury, led off the second with a double. Hamels then retired 12 of the next 13 batters before walking Rendon to lead off the sixth. Werth followed with an opposite-field homer, his 11th, to put Washington in front 3-0. The Phillies couldnt muster much offence against Strasburg until the sixth. After walking Grady Sizemore to lead off the third, Strasburg retired the next nine batters before Jimmy Rollins leadoff single in the sixth. Utley followed with a single to put runners on first and second. After an out, the Phillies executed a double-steal, moving runners to second and third. Both scored on Byrds single to left that pulled Philadelphia within 3-2. Strasburg struck out Cody Asche for the second out but was lifted after walking Cameron Rupp to put runners on first and second. Jerry Blevins relieved Strasburg and got Revere to line out to left. Revere came up big for the Phillies in the eighth when he singled home the tying run with two outs off Tyler Clippard. NOTES: Nationals C Wilson Ramos went 0-for-4 to end his 14-game hitting streak. ... Washingtons Scott Hairston started in place of Bryce Harper in left. Hairston entered batting .395 (15-for-38) with five homers against Hamels and went 1-for-3 against the lefty. ...
