TORONTO \u2014 Peyton Watson scored a team-high 24 points for the Denver Nuggets, and Brandon Ingram<\/a> countered with a game-high 30 as the Nikola Jokic-less Nuggets handed the Toronto Raptors<\/a> a 106-103 loss on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ingram nailed an off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer, but a video review determined the ball was still on his fingertips as the game clock expired at Scotiabank Arena.<\/p>\n

Jokic suffered a hyperextended left knee in the dying seconds of the Nuggets\u2019 loss on the road against the Miami Heat on Monday.<\/p>\n

The win halted a two-game slide for Denver (23-10) and snapped the Raptors\u2019 (20-15) two-game win streak.<\/p>\n

The Raptors trailed 63-54 at the half, but rallied with a 9-0 run to begin the second half to tie the game. The game was back-and-forth from then on, but Toronto was good for only five points in the final 4:39.<\/p>\n

Immanuel Quickley scored 22 points for Toronto, while Scottie Barnes checked in with a triple-double of 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.<\/p>\n

The Raptors focused on defending hot Canadian Jamal Murray, holding the native of Kitchener, Ont., but he still managed 21 points. He came into the game averaging 25.2.<\/p>\n

The game saw 16 lead changes and was tied on seven different occasions.<\/p>\n

Raptors: In his third game back since recovering from a right knee strain, Barrett\u2019s floor time increased to 25 minutes, in which he scored 17 points.<\/p>\n

Nuggets: With Jokic on the sidelines, six-foot-11 Jonas Valanciunas hit season highs in points (17) and minutes (23) with nine rebounds before leaving late in the third quarter with a right calf strain. The 33-year-old Lithuanian spent the first six-plus seasons of his career with the Raptors.<\/p>\n

Murray nailed a layup with 3:24 remaining to put the visitors ahead 101-98 and enough of a cushion to hang on.<\/p>\n

After rallying from a 21-point deficit to win at home against the Orlando Magic on Monday, the Raptors overcame a 13-point second-quarter disadvantage to make a game of this one.<\/p>\n

Nuggets: Visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.<\/p>\n

Raptors: Host the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2014 Peyton Watson scored a team-high 24 points for the Denver Nuggets, and Brandon Ingram countered with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-381347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
