Cup quarterfinals

TORONTO (AP) --- Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett each scored 24 points, Scottie
Barnes had 23 and the Toronto Raptors became the first team to reach the NBA
Cup quarterfinals by beating the Washington Wizards 140-110 on Friday night.
Toronto secured first place in Group A with the victory and Indiana's loss at
Cleveland.
Sandro Mamukelashvili scored a season-high 23 points and Immanuel Quickley
added 17 as Toronto improved to 3-0 in NBA Cup play and extended its winning
streak to six games.
CJ McCollum scored 20 points, Tre Johnson had 14 and Cam Whitmore added 11 for
the woeful Wizards (1-14), who lost their 13th straight and fell to 0-10
against Eastern Conference opponents.
Jamal Shead had a season-high 10 assists for the Raptors. Toronto has won 10 of
11 since a four-game skid that followed a season-opening win at Atlanta.
The Raptors set a season high in points. The 30-point margin of victory was
Toronto's biggest this season, eclipsing a 28-point home win over Milwaukee on
Nov. 4.
Bilal Coulibaly gave Washington its only lead by scoring the game's opening
basket on a fast-break dunk. Toronto responded with 11 consecutive points and
never trailed again.
Coulibaly didn't make another shot, missing five attempts from long range.
The Raptors led 105-77 through three quarters and improved to 10-0 this season
when taking a lead to the fourth.
The Wizards missed 12 of their first 13 attempts from 3-point range and
finished 12 for 41 from distance. Washington's starters combined to go 3 for 21
from beyond the 3-point line.
Wizards center Alex Sarr sat for the second straight game because of a sore
left big toe. Marvin Bagley III (right hip contusion) was also out.
Raptors rookie Collin Murray-Boyles missed his second straight game because of
a sore right knee.
Up next Wizards: At Chicago on Saturday. Raptors: Host Brooklyn on Sunday. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba |
