"With 1.6 seconds remaining, guard Immanuel Quickley came off a Scottie Barnes pindown and nailed a fading triple as the Toronto Raptors stunned the Charlotte Hornets 97-96 on Wednesday at the Spectrum Center. On a night where the Raptors struggled from outside (7-for-34), Quickley hit the most important shot, as Toronto snapped a two-game losing streak against Charlotte and tied the season series at two."
"RJ Barrett was a big component in the comeback, finishing with a game-high 28 points - 16 of which were in the fourth quarter - and seven rebounds. After Charlotte's 27-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last game - which set a record for the largest road win by a team against the reigning champion and reigning MVP in NBA history - they remained hot to begin this one."
