The Portland Trail Blazers saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Friday night in Toronto, falling 119-117 to the Raptors. The loss wasn’t due to lack of effort, however. Portland overcame a 16-point second half deficit to actually take the lead in the fourth quarter, but ultimately fell just short of the victory thanks to a game-winning fade-away jumper from Kawhi Leonard—who finished with a game-high 38 points. CJ McCollum led the Blazers with 35.
The Raptors shot 65% in the opening quarter and took a seven-point lead into halftime, before extending that lead to as many as 16 points mid-way through the third quarter.
