Immanuel Quickley, Chris Boucher,and RJ Barrett each scored 23 points and the Toronto Raptors made 20 3-pointers in a 127-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
A late response from the Raptors along with a controversial foul call gave Toronto a 29-25 advantage going into the second quarter. The momentum the Raptors built was fully extended over the next 12 minutes - Chris Boucher was the catalyst of the 67-52 lead that Toronto secured going into halftime.
The Raptors snapped a brief two-game losing streak thanks to their valiant defensive efforts on Durant. The future Hall of Fame player posted a lousy 15 points, while shooting an underwhelming 5-of-15 from the field and 0-of-5 from beyond the arc.
Richards had one of his best games in a Suns uniform versus Chicago, posting a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Suns were seeking him out all game on rolls to the rim, and another big performance could do a lot for his confidence moving forward after an inconsistent start to his Phoenix tenure.
