"They snapped Portland's four-game win streak after a convincing 110-98 victory on the road. Barrett had 10 points in his return, but it was fourth-quarter Scottie that really separated the Raptors from the Trail Blazers. Barnes had 11 points on 4-6 shooting and two offensive boards in the final frame. His biggest play was a put back lay-up after grabbing IQ's missed 3-pointer. That put the Raptors up 10 points with 2:38 left."
"Since Mamu was the only real 5 for the Raptors, Barnes took on that load by going at Donovan Clingan. In the fourth, he used his hips to get into him and threw down an easy dunk. He got even deeper in the paint and gave Clingan a low post footwork clinic. It wasn't all just scoring either; Scottie touched the paint and had a nice dish into Mamu."
The Raptors improved to 17-7 when RJ Barrett is in the lineup and snapped Portland's four-game win streak with a 110-98 road victory.
