Raptors Edge Warriors 104-101 in Thrilling Fourth-Quarter Comeback

TORONTO, Ontario — The Toronto Raptors rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Golden State Warriors 104-101 on Monday night at Scotiabank Arena. The Raptors, who had lost 16 of their previous 17 games, secured the victory with a late surge led by Chris Boucher, who scored 17 of his 18 points in the final quarter.

Toronto trailed 86-77 with 9:27 remaining after a 3-pointer by Golden State’s Stephen Curry. However, the Raptors outscored the Warriors 27-15 down the stretch, capped by a go-ahead basket with 1:33 left. Boucher also grabbed a crucial rebound and assisted on a fast-break dunk by Ochai Agbaji, sealing the win.

Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 23 points, while Scottie Barnes added 13 points and 13 rebounds. Agbaji and Gary Trent Jr. each contributed 12 points. For the Warriors, Curry scored a game-high 26 points, and Jonathan Kuminga added 20. Golden State, playing without Klay Thompson (illness) for the second straight game, missed a chance to tie when Curry’s 3-pointer fell short in the final seconds.

The Warriors struggled from beyond the arc, with Buddy Hield shooting just 2 for 10 from 3-point range. Toronto, meanwhile, shot efficiently from distance in the first half, going 9 for 23, but focused on interior play after halftime.

Golden State, which has lost four of its last five games, will look to rebound Wednesday when it visits the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Raptors, now 10-31, host the Boston Celtics on the same night.
