"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amir Johnson hit a game-winning putback with 7.1 seconds left to lift Toronto to a 105-103 home victory over Boston on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With less than 20 seconds remaining in the game and the score tied at 103, Kyle Lowry milked the clock down near midcourt. Johnson then came to set a high screen with roughly 12 seconds left, and Lowry used the pick to split the defense and attack the paint for a right-handed runner. The off-balance shot was a bit wild, but Johnson did well to crash the glass, positioning himself perfectly near the right block to grab the carom off the rim.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rather than come down with possession, Johnson elected to put the ball back up immediately with both hands. His try banked in cleanly, giving Toronto a two-point lead. A Jared Sullinger three-point try on the other end was no good and the Raptors held on for the victory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"My grandmother called and she said she's proud,\" Johnson said afterwards, according to the &lt;em&gt;Associated Press&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The win pushed the Raptors to 41-31 on the season and clinched their first trip to the playoffs since 2008.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"It's a satisfying, kind of overwhelming feeling,\" Johnson continued. \"But at the same time, you know you've still got a lot more to accomplish.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson finished with eight points (on 4-for-8 shooting), eight rebounds and two blocks. DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with a game-high 30 points (on 12-for-27 shooting), four assists and three rebounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jerryd Bayless paced the Celtics with a team-high 20 points (on 8-for-13 shooting) and three assists. Jeff Green added 16 points (on 7-for-14 shooting), four rebounds and two assists in a losing effort.\nBoston fell to 23-49 with the loss.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
