Rawle Alkins came to the rescue to keep the Toronto Raptors’ Summer League title hopes alive.
The former Arizona Wildcat had a team-high 25 points and 11 rebounds in an 87-84 overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday in Las Vegas. Toronto will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the quarterfinals Sunday.
Alkins sank a game-tying layup with 56 seconds left in regulation, then hit a go-ahead 3 with 31 seconds in overtime that proved to be the game-winner and capped off a terrific shooting night.
Alkins was 10-for-16 from the field and 5-for-7 from 3.
