Raptors top Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander rallies to extend streak

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Immanuel Quickley scored 23 points, including a pair of critical 3-pointers in the final two minutes, to lift the Toronto Raptors to a 103-101 road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

The game was nip-and-tuck throughout, with no team leading by more than seven the entire way.

With just less than two minutes remaining and the Raptors trailing by two, Quickley hit 3-pointers on successive possessions to give Toronto a 101-97 lead with 1:16 remaining.

The Thunder cut into the lead with Chet Holmgren’s putback of a Kenrich Williams missed 3-pointer with 57.2 seconds left and had a chance to tie or take the lead in the final minute after Luguentz Dort grabbed the rebound off Brandon Ingram’s miss.

But coming out of a timeout, the Raptors’ Scottie Barnes blocked Holmgren’s 7-foot jumper and grabbed the rebound.

Quickley hit a pair of free throws to make it a two-possession game, and though Isaiah Joe drained a 23-footer just before the buzzer, it wasn’t enough to keep Oklahoma City from its second consecutive loss.

Toronto has won four consecutive games.

RJ Barrett added 14 points and Ingram 13 for the Raptors. Barnes had 10 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 24 points, though just three came in the fourth quarter.

Gilgeous-Alexander, who came into the game second in NBA history with 116 consecutive games with 20 or more points, didn’t cross into double digits in scoring until nearly midway through the third quarter.

But it didn’t take long for Gilgeous-Alexander to extend his streak, scoring 12 in the final six-plus minutes of the quarter to move him within 10 games of breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record for consecutive 20-point games.

The reigning NBA Most Valuable Player hit all five of his shots in the quarter to give the Thunder an 81-79 lead heading into the fourth.

After a 30-point first quarter, Oklahoma City found it much more difficult to score in the second.

The Raptors closed the half on a 9-1 run as the Thunder didn’t hit a field goal in the final 3:20 before the break.

Outside of Dort, who hit both of his shots in the quarter, the Thunder were just 4 of 15 from the field in the second.
