TORONTO, Dec. 28, 2025 — Scottie Barnes delivered 23 points, a career-high 25 rebounds and 10 assists, matching Toronto’s single-game rebounding record and guiding the Raptors to a 141-127 overtime win against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.
The third-year forward tied the 25-board mark set by Bismack Biyombo in 2016 and recorded his seventh career triple-double, his first of the season. Barnes, 24 years and 149 days old, is the youngest player with at least 20 points, 25 rebounds and 10 assists in a game since Maurice Stokes achieved the feat in November 1957. Over the last 40 seasons, only Denver’s Nikola Jokić (Dec. 18, 2022) had previously reached those thresholds.
Immanuel Quickley led Toronto with 27 points, Brandon Ingram added 26 and rookie Ja’Kobe Walter supplied a season-best 18. Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in 13, Ochai Agbaji had 10 and seven Raptors scored in double figures. Forward RJ Barrett returned from a 15-game absence to post 12 points in 24 minutes.
Stephen Curry poured in 39 points for Golden State, including 14 in the third quarter, but went scoreless in the extra period. Draymond Green finished with 21 points and Jimmy Butler totaled 19, while rookies Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard scored 13 and 10 respectively. The Warriors slipped to 6-12 on the road.
Toronto erased a deficit late in regulation, outscoring Golden State 9-2 over the final 1:32 to force overtime and logging its third victory this season when trailing after three quarters. The Raptors converted 21 Warriors turnovers into 35 points, the most Golden State has allowed in that category this year.
Barnes, who matched the franchise high with his third career game of nine offensive rebounds, grabbed 10 boards in the fourth quarter and overtime combined. Toronto played without starting center Jakob Poeltl (lower back) for the fifth time in six games but still dominated the glass 58-46.
