Immanuel Quickley scored 27 points and added 11 assists as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Washington Wizards 134-125 on Saturday night.
Brandon Ingram contributed 24 points for Toronto, which bounced back from consecutive home losses earlier in the week. With the win, the Raptors remain fifth in the Eastern Conference and moved three games clear of the play-in positions.
Will Riley led Washington with 19 points as the Wizards dropped their fourth straight game after winning twice against Indiana following the All-Star break.
Washington continued to miss newly acquired Anthony Davis due to a finger injury and Trae Young with knee and quad issues. Alex Sarr (hamstring) was also sidelined. Toronto was without Collin Murray-Boyles because of a thumb injury.
The Wizards led by three midway through the third quarter before Toronto went on an 11-2 run capped by Ingram’s three-pointer. The Raptors took a 98-92 lead into the fourth quarter and quickly pushed the margin into double digits.
All five Toronto starters scored at least 18 points. Canadian RJ Barrett finished with 21 points, while Scottie Barnes added 18 and Jakob Poeltl recorded 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George each scored 14 points for Washington. The Wizards shot 16-of-34 from beyond the arc, but Toronto dominated inside, converting 42-of-63 shots in the paint.
Washington signed former Maryland standout Julian Reese to a two-way contract earlier Saturday, though he did not dress for the game.
Despite holding a 64-26 edge in bench scoring, the Wizards were unable to overcome Toronto’s balanced offensive attack.
Toronto will next host the New York Knicks on Tuesday.
