Barnes Makes History with Record-Tying Performance
Scottie Barnes delivered a remarkable display at Scotiabank Arena, tallying 23 points, a career-best 25 rebounds – equalling Bismack Biyombo’s single-game franchise record set in 2016 – and 10 assists to register his seventh career triple-double, his first of the current season. This all-around contribution was pivotal as the Toronto Raptors surged to a 141-127 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.
Take a bow, Scottie Barnes 👏
He ties Bismack Biyombo (March 17, 2016) for most REB in a game in Raptors history.
He joins Nikola Jokić as the only players since Maurice Lucas in 1980 with a 20/25/10 game.

Raptors End Home Skid and Exploit Warriors’ Mistakes
Driven by Immanuel Quickley’s 27 points, Brandon Ingram’s 26, and Ja’Kobe Walter’s season-high 18, Toronto managed to end their five-game home losing run. They made the most of Golden State’s inconsistencies, turning 21 turnovers into 35 points – the highest tally conceded by the Warriors via turnovers this season. By comparison, their previous worst was 34 points allowed off turnovers in a defeat at Miami on 19 November.
Late Rally Forces Overtime
The Raptors arrived at the extra period by outscoring Golden State 9-2 in the closing 1:32 of regulation, clinching their third win of the campaign when trailing after three quarters. Seven Raptors players ultimately finished in double figures, with Sandro Mamukelashvili adding 13 points, Ochai Agbaji chipping in 10, and RJ Barrett providing 12 points in 24 minutes on his return from a 15-game absence.
| Top Performers | Points | Rebounds | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scottie Barnes (TOR) | 23 | 25 | 10 |
| Immanuel Quickley (TOR) | 27 | 4 | 6 |
| Stephen Curry (GSW) | 39 | 5 | 7 |
| Draymond Green (GSW) | 21 | 8 | 7 |
Warriors Lack Late Firepower as Road Woes Continue
Stephen Curry totalled 39 points, including 14 in the third quarter, but did not score during overtime as Golden State dropped to 6-12 in away fixtures. Draymond Green posted 21 points and Jimmy Butler produced 19, while Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard contributed 13 and 10 points respectively; nonetheless, the Warriors’ efforts fell short.
Injury News and Upcoming Fixtures
Toronto once again played without centre Jakob Poeltl (lower back), sidelined for the fifth time in six outings. Meanwhile, the Warriors travel to Brooklyn on Monday, and the Raptors will remain at home to take on Orlando.
