The Toronto Raptors left Los Angeles with a split trip after suffering a loss to Luka Dončić and the Lakers before bouncing back on Monday night to defeat the Clippers 125-118.
The Raptors secured the win with a late fourth-quarter comeback, fueled by Scottie Barnes, who scored 15 of his 22 points in the final period. Toronto faced a 13-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter before mounting a decisive 12-1 run to swing the momentum. The pivotal moment came with two minutes remaining when Barnes knocked down a turnaround jumper to give Toronto its first lead of the contest. In addition to his clutch scoring, Barnes pulled down 15 rebounds and dished out eight assists.
Immanuel Quickley led the Raptors in scoring with 27 points, while RJ Barrett added 26.
Kobe Sanders paced the Los Angeles Clippers with a career-high 26 points. However, his performance was not enough to halt their slide, as the Clippers suffered their sixth consecutive loss, having failed to win since their season opener against Sacramento.
