TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors came into Fridays game against the New York Knicks hoping to clinch the Atlantic Division for just the second time in franchise history in front of a home crowd. But after losing 108-100 they had to wait for some help from the Atlanta Hawks, which came moments later in the form of a 93-88 win over the Brooklyn Nets. "Its sweet and sour," Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry said. "Its very sweet that we won the division but it sucks that we didnt win it by a win. But well take the division champs any day." Atlantic Division T-shirts were draped over each chair in the Raptors locker-room to celebrate following the Nets loss. But despite locking up the division, the Raptors wont be taking it easy for the rest of the season. "Were still anxious," said DeMar DeRozan, who led Toronto with 26 points. "We still want more. Were not satisfied with nothing (yet). "We understand we have much more basketball to play and a long road to go and we want to take advantage of it. Not just get there and say we got there, where people doubted us. We definitely feel like we can go in and make some noise." Carmelo Anthony shook off a sore shoulder and scored a game-high 30 points and Amare Stoudemire scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the New York (34-45) overcame a slow start to pick up the win. Lowry added 25 points for the Raptors (46-33) and Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points and a career-high 21 rebounds. The Knicks arrived in Toronto after a four-day break between games. "It helped a lot," Anthony said of the time off. "It helped big time. I got a chance to get some rest, got treatment on multiple days and it helped me tonight." Amir Johnson returned to the lineup after missing the previous three games with a sore right ankle. He played 17 minutes and was scoreless from the field. "Im good," Johnson said. "I just got to get back into a groove. It felt like I was a step slow. Amare came out freaking flying ... He definitely played great." Stoudemires 24 points were a season-high. He logged 40 minutes against the Raptors. "Amare was big," Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said. "I played him well over his minutes that we set him at, but I didnt have a choice. He elected to go and that was good for me." The Knicks shot 50 per cent from the floor in the first quarter, but the Raptors held a two-point advantage over New York heading into the second quarter after scoring six-of-eight three-point attempts. Anthony, who missed both previous games between the Knicks and Raptors this season with a sprained ankle, made his presence felt early, scoring 18 points in the first half. "Unbelievable," said Raptors head coach Dwane Casey of Anthonys effort on the court. "He made the plays he made. He was double-teamed. John Salmons and Terrence (Ross) were draped over him. I cant fault the effort. He made some tough shots." Despite Anthonys strong performance however, the Raptors took a 47-45 lead into the break. After connecting on 7-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc in the first half, Toronto made seven three-pointers in the third frame. Toronto continued to struggle with Anthony, though, and the Knicks took a 78-77 lead into the fourth on the strength of Anthonys 27 points through three quarters. "We had no answer for him," Casey said. "We double-teamed him. We rotated all of the big men we had. We fronted, whatever we had to do. He made the shots. He made the plays, some tough plays. Carmelo was Carmelo." The Raptors went more than six minutes without scoring a field goal after a dunk from DeRozan at the 9:15 mark of the fourth quarter kept them within two points. Torontos offensive drought allowed the Knicks to pull ahead by 11 points, their largest lead of the game. Stoudemire scored eight of his 24 points in the fourth quarter. Lowry, who set a franchise record for most three-pointers made in a season with 180 -- passing Morris Petersons record of 177 set in 2005-06 -- was assessed a technical foul with 2:09 remaining in the third for arguing a non-call after a drive to the basket. Prior to the game, Casey stressed the importance of facing a team that is fighting for an opportunity to make the post-season. While he was disappointed with the loss, he said the Raptors lost to a team playing with its back against the wall. "Its funny how the expectations change," Casey said. "We go from developing and now all at once we lost to Carmelo Anthony and a team like this and the world (is collapsing). "We still have some growing to do. We have a great foundation from where we are. Now we just want to be ready to go into the playoffs with some momentum."

Callahan also had a goal in regulation in the Lightnings seventh consecutive win at Amalie Arena, while Ben Bishop did his part with a stellar 40-save effort that included five stops in overtime. Anton Stralman contributed a goal and an assist to Tampa Bays ninth win in its last 12 overall. The Avalanche still managed a point courtesy of Nathan MacKinnons game-tying goal with just 6.8 seconds remaining in the third period. MacKinnon added an assist on Ryan OReillys marker, with Semyon Varlamov finishing with 29 saves for Colorado. The Lightning were able to kill off a pair of Colorado power plays after taking a 2-1 lead on Stralmans goal 4:08 into the third period, but couldnt withstand the Avalanches late charge with Varlamov pulled for an extra attacker. Colorado pressured the Tampa Bay zone in the waning seconds and were rewarded for the effort, as Gabriel Landeskog slid a pass across the crease that MacKinnon buried into an open side while on the doorstep of the left post. The Lightning managed to ward off a brief 4-on-3 for Colorado to close out overtime, then claimed an early edge in the shootout when Nikita Kucherov scored in the first round. Matt Duchene tied it on the Avs second attempt, however. Callahan then began the third by driving hard to the net and slipping a shot past Varlamovs right pad, and Bishop cut off the aangle on Alex Tanguay to give Tampa the two points.dddddddddddd The game couldnt have begun much worse for the Avalanche, who were short- handed just 31 seconds in when defenseman Jan Hejda was sent off for a hooking call. Tampa Bay capitalized on the resulting power play. After Stralman hit Alex Killorn in stride with a long outlet pass, Killorn put the puck right on a charging Callahans stick to deposit it past an out-of-position Varlamov with 1:58 elapsed in the contest. Varlamov was sharp over the remainder of an opening period in which the Avalanche were outshot 15-5, and Colorado picked it up considerably in the second. The Avs ripped off 20 shots for the stanza and knotted the score 51 seconds into the frame behind OReilly, who kept the puck in the Tampa zone after being denied twice by Bishop and then connected off a MacKinnon give moments afterward. Stralmans drive from the right boards got through Varlamovs pads early in the third to put Tampa Bay back on top. Game Notes Tampa Bays seven-game home win streak is one short of a franchise record set from March 17-April 8, 2006 ... Since Callahan was acquired from the Rangers last March, the Lightning are 16-2-0 in games where he has at least one goal ... Tampa Bay improved to 2-4 in shootouts this season while the Avalanche fell to 5-4 ... Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman returned to action from a two-game absence caused by a lower-body injury, but fellow blueliner Matt Carle sat out due to an undisclosed injury.
