The Wizards did build a six-point lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and appeared to be on the verge of pulling away, but the Raptors fought back.
"We didn't hang our heads," Triano said. "We have a tendency to hang our heads when we get down five or six. Guys seemed very positive all night - almost with a belief they're going to win."
It was the first overtime game of the season for both teams. Arenas tied it with a jumper over Jarrett Jack with 13.7 seconds left in regulation, and Turkoglu's attempt at the buzzer bounced off the rim.
Turkoglu made up for that miss in overtime. He hit a 3-pointer with 2 1/2 minutes to go to give the Raptors a four-point lead and sealed the game with his final shot.
"No matter what happened today, we have to be satisfied how we stuck together," Bosh said. "The bench was into it. Everybody was into it. We have to do that for the rest of the season if we want to be successful."
