RJ Barrett Scores 26 as the Raptors Erase a 13-Point Fourth-Quarter Deficit to Beat the Clippers 125-118
Toronto was down 13 entering the fourth and scored 47 points in it - tying the franchise record - as Los Angeles lost its sixth straight game.
The Toronto Raptors saved their whole game for the last 12 minutes. Toronto beat the Los Angeles Clippers 125-118 on Monday night at Intuit Dome, outscoring Los Angeles 47-27 in the fourth quarter after trailing 63-52 at halftime and by 13 entering the final period, according to the Reuters report read this cycle.
The 47 points tied Toronto's franchise record for a fourth quarter. The Raptors shot 61.9 percent in the period, with Scottie Barnes scoring 15 of his 22 points and Immanuel Quickley 14 of his team-high 27 in the quarter, Reuters reported. RJ Barrett added 26 points on 10-of-19 shooting, Barnes finished with 15 rebounds and eight assists, and Toronto took its first lead of the game at 111-109 on a Barnes jumper with 2:08 remaining - and never trailed again.
Kobe Sanders scored a career-high 26 points for the Clippers, who have lost six straight since winning their season opener and fell to 1-6. Toronto, 4-3 and still playing without Kawhi Leonard (knee), ends a two-game slide and continues its road trip at Denver on Wednesday.
