"With just 0:08 seconds left on the game clock, head coach Darko Rajakovic flexed his finger muscles and drew up yet another game-winning out-of-bounds play - this time scheming a lob play at the rim that Jared Rhoden and Olivier Sarr (with the help of a Chucky Hepburn screen) executed to perfection as Toronto walked away with a 113-112 win over the Washington Wizards."
"Immanuel Quickley led the Raptors' effort on Sunday with a team-high 18 points on 5-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc to go with three rebounds and three assists. Right behind him was RJ Barrett with 15 points, while Scottie Barnes added a 10-point, 12-rebound performance, albeit on 3-of-11 shooting from the field. The Raptors' star forward finished a plus-22 despite his less-than-stellar offensive efficiency, but still left something to be desired with his process throughout the night."
"It wasn't a pretty win by any means, but that doesn't appear to be a point of concern for this team that's built an M.O. on being scrappy. Despite being outperformed from the field and distance, thanks to 33.6 and 28.6 per cent shooting efforts, the Raptors' opportunistic defence continued to do the heavy lifting. Washington shot an equally paltry 39.3 and 29.0 per cent from both areas"
The Toronto Raptors overcame a near three-minute scoreless drought and a potential blown 16-point lead to win 113-112 on a last-second out-of-bounds lob. Head coach Darko Rajakovic drew up the play that Jared Rhoden and Olivier Sarr executed with a Chucky Hepburn screen. Immanuel Quickley led with 18 points on 5-of-10 three-point shooting, RJ Barrett scored 15, and Scottie Barnes finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds despite inefficient shooting. Chucky Hepburn added 12 off the bench, and Sandro Mamukelashvili posted eight points, nine rebounds and two steals. Both teams shot poorly while Toronto forced 19 Washington turnovers versus 10.
