Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett each scored 24 points, while Scottie Barnes added 23 as the Toronto Raptors cruised past the Washington Wizards 140-110 on Friday at Scotiabank Arena. The victory secured Toronto’s first-place finish in Group A and a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
Sandro Mamukelashvili contributed a season-high 23 points off the bench, and Immanuel Quickley added 17 as the Raptors extended their winning streak to six games and improved to 3-0 in tournament play. Jamal Shead led the team with 10 assists, orchestrating a balanced and efficient offense.
The Wizards struggled from long range, hitting just 12-of-41 three-pointers, while their starters combined for 3-of-21 beyond the arc. Bilal Coulibaly scored Washington’s only early lead with a fast-break dunk, but Toronto responded with an 11-0 run and never trailed again.
Toronto dominated the third quarter, outscoring Washington 48-30 to take a 105-77 lead entering the fourth. The Raptors have now won all 10 games this season when leading after three quarters, showcasing both offensive firepower and defensive consistency.
CJ McCollum led the Wizards with 20 points, supported by Tre Johnson’s 14 and Cam Whitmore’s 11. Washington fell to 1-14 overall, losing their 13th straight game and remaining winless against Eastern Conference opponents at 0-10. Injuries sidelined Alex Sarr (toe) and Marvin Bagley III (hip), compounding their offensive struggles.
Toronto set season highs in points and margin of victory, eclipsing their previous 28-point win over Milwaukee. With a balanced attack and strong shooting efficiency—48-of-83 from the field and 14-of-28 from three—the Raptors controlled the pace and tempo throughout.
The Raptors will host Brooklyn on Sunday, while Washington travels to Chicago on Saturday, aiming to end their losing streak.
