INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Scottie Barnes scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, Immanuel Quickley had 27 and the Toronto Raptors rallied for a 125-118 win over the skidding Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Toronto trailed by 13 going into the final period, but Barnes hit a turnaround jumper with 2:08 remaining to give the Raptors their first lead as part of a 12-1 run.<\/p>\n
RJ Barrett scored 26 for Toronto. Barnes also finished with 15 rebounds and eight assists.<\/p>\n
Kobe Sanders had a career-high 26 points for the Clippers, who have dropped six straight games since winning their season opener Oct. 21 against Sacramento.<\/p>\n
It was the second game of a back-to-back for both teams. The Clippers were coming off a 124-112 loss at Golden State<\/a> on Sunday, while the Raptors fell 131-125 at the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n The matchup lost much of its luster with Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard unavailable because of a left knee injury, delaying his return to Southern California after spending the previous seven seasons with the Clippers (he missed one due to injury). <\/p>\n His largely disappointing tenure ended when the Clippers had to forfeit five first-round draft picks and were fined $30 million for circumventing salary cap rules<\/a> in regard to how Leonard was compensated. Team owner Steve Ballmer was suspended for one year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
