Scottie Barnes delivered a dominant all-around performance as the Toronto Raptors handled the Indiana Pacers 122-104 on Sunday night.
Barnes finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds on 12-of-20 shooting, adding six assists, four blocks and two steals in 33 minutes. Toronto earned its second straight win and improved to 32-22, moving 10 games above .500.
RJ Barrett chipped in 20 points along with eight rebounds and five assists, while Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 17. Trayce Jackson-Davis made an immediate impact in his Raptors debut following a trade from Golden State, recording 10 points and 10 rebounds in just 15 minutes off the bench.
Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 18 points, while Jay Huff added 15 and Jarace Walker finished with 13. The injury-depleted Pacers, last in the Eastern Conference, dropped their fourth straight game and fell to 13-40.
Toronto was forced to adjust early after rookie center Collin Murray-Boyles exited with 3:47 remaining in the first quarter due to a sprained left thumb. He finished with two points in eight minutes. Indiana also lost swingman Johnny Furphy in the third quarter after a hard fall, with the team later announcing he was sidelined by right leg soreness.
Up next:
The Pacers head to New York to face the Knicks on Tuesday night, while the Raptors return home to host Detroit on Wednesday.
