It wasn’t handsome but a win still looks good.

Chris Bosh poured in 36 points and added 11 rebounds as the Toronto Raptors used a fourth-quarter comeback to slip by the Sacramento Kings 115-104 at the Air Canada Centre on Sunday afternoon.

The Raptors trailed 87-84 heading into the fourth but outscored the Kings 31-17, assisted by a 19-8 run to end the game.

The decisive shot came when Antoine Wright took a Bosh pass in the corner and drilled a three-pointer with 4:12 remaining, to increase the lead to 105-97.

Andrea Bargnani nailed a jumper over 40 seconds later to widen the margin to 107-97, essentially spelling the end for the weary Kings.

Bargnani finished with 22 points while Hedo Turkoglu had 16 points and Wright dropped in 15.

Toronto (28-23) improve to 19-6 at home and have now scored 100+ points in a team record 16 consecutive games. The Raps are fifth in the East, five games behind the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics for third place in the conference.

Sacramento (16-33) is 3-22 on the road and have now lost six straight games in Toronto. Kevin Martin poured in 24 points while Spencer Hawes had 14 points and 11 rebounds and Donte Greene had 13 points and five rebounds. With the Kings still running on Pacific time their 8 a.m. wake up felt more like 5 a.m.
