"Somewhere in the shuffle, the Raptors backcourt picked them up. After a very strugglesome start to the game (and especially for Barrett), the pairing of former Knicks started to score with consistency. It's not as if the shots got a whole lot easier. It was still a lot of pitch, assess, create. Pitch, assess, create. Only, instead of failing to score... they managed it."
"Barrett started 2/12 and en route to putting the Raptors up by 3 in the middle of the fourth quarter, put together an 8/9 shooting stretch. Quickley had a triple and a layup in this stretch as well. Firmly in the mix of it all, Murray-Boyles quietly nabbed his career high in rebounds. Not taking many shots, but giving the Raptors extra possession after extra possession to work with."
"It was Barrett who dragged them, with isolation buckets on Kon Knueppel, to a 2-point deficit with 1.6 seconds left. It was Barnes who set the screen, Mamu as the trigger man inbounder. "I usually say Call 5 but it was Call God on that one." - Immanuel Quickley Quickley sprinted up court, with a slight curve toward the ball and loaded up... expeditiously to let the ball fly from downtown, and for the win."
Immanuel Quickley overcame a cold start from three (2-for-10) to hit a go-ahead clutch three in the dying seconds to beat the Charlotte Hornets. RJ Barrett scored 16 fourth-quarter points, rallying from a 2-for-12 start and finishing with an 8-for-9 stretch that helped put the Raptors ahead. The Raptors won despite Brandon Ingram exiting with a thumb injury. The backcourt pairing of former Knicks supplied scoring consistency after an early struggle, while Murray-Boyles achieved a career-high in rebounds, creating extra possessions that fueled the late comeback.
