Ray Allen scored 20 points, while Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins had 18 apiece, to lead the Boston Celtics past the Toronto Raptors, 116-103.
Rajon Rondo scored 12 points and dished out 11 assists as the Celtics won their third straight game. Wallace scored 15 points as a reserve and he hit his first four three-point attempts.
Chris Bosh had a double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while Hedo Torkoglu scored 20 points and Jarrett Jack added 18 off the bench. The Raptors have now lost eight games, including the franchise’s worst defeat last Wednesday against Charlotte.
During the third quarter, Torkoglu gave the Raptors the lead with a steal and a dunk, but Boston scored the next 13 points.
Wallace was previously struggling from three-point range, but he made 50 percent of the three point shots he took last Friday.
In the eastern standings, Orlando and Boston are tussling for the top spot. Raptors are in the second place slot, however they are 7-10.
