TORONTO – Scottie Barnes scored 17 points as the Raptors held on for a 119-109 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday as Toronto extended its win streak to seven.
RJ Barrett of Mississauga, Ont., had 16 points in 20 minutes of play for Toronto (12-5) before getting hurt in the third quarter.
Barrett subbed out with 7:13 left in the period after awkwardly landing from a dunk, spraining his right knee. He led Toronto’s scorers at the time.
Backup forward Tyrese Martin led all scorers with 26 points to keep Brooklyn (3-14) in the game. Michael Porter Jr. had 25 points, Noah Clowney added 22 and Nic Claxton had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Rookie forward Collin Murray-Boyles was back in Toronto’s lineup after missing the last two games with a medial collateral ligament sprain in his right knee.
Murray-Boyles finished with two points in 17 minutes off the bench.
Raptors starting centre Jakob Poeltl was unavailable to rest his lower back. Head coach Darko Rajakovic said before the game that Poeltl won’t play both ends of back-to-backs for now.
Toronto will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
Takeaways
Raptors: What may have been a trap game saw Toronto play down to its competition, especially in the third quarter. The Raptors were especially dominated in the paint with Poeltl unavailable, getting out-rebounded 40-32.
Nets: Martin almost single-handedly made the game close in the fourth quarter. He had 10 points in the period, knocking down two three-pointers early in the period to keep Brooklyn either tied or within a possession.
Key moment
After Porter tied the game 104-104, Toronto went on a 10-0 run thanks to back-to-back three-pointers by point guard Immanuel Quickley.
Key stat
Brandon Ingram had 14 points for the Raptors, surpassing 10,000 points in his career. He’s the fifth player from the 2016 draft class to reach the milestone.
