Fred VanVleet made two three-pointers in overtime and scored 25 points, and the visiting Toronto Raptors beat the Washington Wizards 116-109 on Saturday to split their two-game series.

Gary Trent Jr. scored 26 points to lead the Raptors, who bounced back from their 119-108 loss Thursday night to move back ahead of the Wizards into ninth place in the NBA's Eastern Conference.

Kristaps Porzingis had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Wizards. Bradley Beal added 21 points and 10 assists, but shot just 7-for-22 and missed a jumper that could have won it in regulation.

VanVleet snapped a 107-107 tie with a 3-pointer with 1:47 remaining in overtime. After Kyle Kuzma made a pair of free throws to cut it to one, VanVleet knocked down another three that made it 113-109, and Siakam's three-point play with 15 seconds to go put it away.
