TORONTO – RJ Barrett scored a game-high 27 points and Brandon Ingram added 26 to guide the Toronto Raptors to a 117-104 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
The Raptors (3-4) won at Scotiabank Arena for the primary time in three starts and still have back-to-back wins for the primary time this season.
The Grizzlies (3-4) were without leading scorer Ja Morant. He sat out due to a team-imposed one-game team suspension for a post-game spat with rookie head coach Tuomas Iisalo on Friday. The 26-year-old guard reportedly responded in a dismissive tone after the Finnish coach challenged Morant’s leadership.
