0 2
Golden State Warriors 127 Final
141 Toronto Raptors
B
S. Mamukelashvili22 MIN, 13 PTS, 6 REB, 0 AST, 2 STL, 6-11 FG, 1-4 3FG, 0-0 FT, 1 BLK, 0 TO, -7 +/-

Mamu was really nice attacking off the dribble, and he was using Golden State being in motion as a way to knife his way to the rim. His finishing was done with a soft touch and in the flow of the offense.

A+
S. Barnes42 MIN, 23 PTS, 25 REB, 10 AST, 3 STL, 11-17 FG, 0-1 3FG, 1-1 FT, 1 BLK, 3 TO, 24 +/-

Barnes was a swiss-army knife for Toronto today. He had a huge put back layup to tie the game up late, and he was a rebounding monster tonight, especially in overtime where he gave Toronto second chance after second chance to extend the lead. He finished with a career high 25 rebounds, and his clutch finishing and rebounding empowered Toronto to pick up the overtime victory. Barnes was a force inside the paint tonight as a scorer, and he punished Golden State time and time again for not having enough size to deal with him.

A+
I. Quickley38 MIN, 27 PTS, 4 REB, 7 AST, 1 STL, 7-15 FG, 5-10 3FG, 8-8 FT, 0 BLK, 5 TO, 7 +/-

Quickley was huge down the stretch for Toronto. He hit a huge triple to tie the game up and keep Toronto in it, and in overtime he kept the scoring going which extended Golden State’s lead.

A
B. Ingram39 MIN, 26 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL, 12-26 FG, 0-8 3FG, 2-2 FT, 0 BLK, 2 TO, 10 +/-

Ingram was very cold from outside the arc today, and he went through long stretches without adding much to the game. He opened the game hot and then didn’t get going again until the 4th quarter where he was dropping in midrange after midrange, turning his shoulder and firing away repeatedly. The 4th quarter and overtime were owned by him.

B-
R. Barrett24 MIN, 12 PTS, 7 REB, 4 AST, 0 STL, 5-13 FG, 2-5 3FG, 0-2 FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, -5 +/-

Barrett had a nice first half, had an emphatic slam as his welcome back bucket, knocked down his triples, and had some nice cuts, but in the second half he could not get anything going despite having some nice looks. Showed some of the same transition and cutting stuff from before his injury which was encouraging.

C+
O. Agbaji20 MIN, 10 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 4-6 FG, 0-1 3FG, 2-2 FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, -20 +/-

Agbaji had a rough go guarding Curry, he was top locking and face guardian him but he still managed to let Curry get free multiple times and sent him to the foul line a bunch. He made up for this somewhat by hitting his shots, but he was pulled from the game for players who were doing a better job overall.

B-
G. Dick15 MIN, 4 PTS, 2 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 2-4 FG, 0-2 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, 12 +/-

Dick had a nice screen and slip for a floater and a great dunk in transition, and he also aided Toronto in their end of the third-run by saving a ball from going out and throwing it ahead to his teammate as well.

B-
J. Shead29 MIN, 8 PTS, 0 REB, 8 AST, 1 STL, 3-8 FG, 1-4 3FG, 1-1 FT, 0 BLK, 4 TO, 34 +/-

Shead drew a game-changing foul on Curry in the final moments of the fourth, and his constant movement and ball pressure gave Toronto a nice spark. He hit a game-sealing triple in overtime as well.

A+
J. Walter33 MIN, 18 PTS, 2 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 6-10 FG, 4-7 3FG, 2-2 FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, 15 +/-

Walter had a brilliant offensive game today, and he was an integral part of this comeback win for Toronto. He played smothering defense on Curry, made his presence felt full-court on defense, and knocked down 4 triples tonight, including one in overtime to extend Toronto’s lead.

A+
Darko Rajakovic

Great call leaving Ja’Kobe in the game, and feeding Brandon Ingram down the stretch.

Things We Saw

  1. Scottie finished with a career-high 25 rebounds and he grabbed four offensive rebounds in overtime to help Toronto seal this game.
  2. Toronto went on a 21-5 run to end this game and they kept fighting even when it seemed like they were done, this was an extremly gritty win.

Your next read, from our own Samson Folk:

To start the second quarter the Raptors ran a set play (shallow 77) with Barrett on ball that loosed Barnes for a dunk in the halfcourt. He punctuated a play shortly after with his second 3-pointer of the game. Later, a live-dribble righty skip pass to Ja’Kobe Walter for a triple out of the pick n’ roll. Also, Barrett’s presence and creation allowed Barnes to slide into a more robust role as a defender and middle man on offense. Shredding Warrior advantages and making them move the ball on, closing out possessions on the glass, and connecting the Raptors offense as a playmaker – to the tune of 9 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 stocks in the first half, and obviously something that became historic as the game went along.
