Toronto Raptors force Game 7 after 112-110 overtime win against Cavaliers
RJ Barrett drilled a 29-foot three-pointer in the dying seconds of overtime as the undermanned Toronto Raptors staved off playoff elimination with a 112-110 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Barrett released the shot with three seconds left on the clock but after a high bounce it swished through the net with 1.2 seconds left.
The best-of-seven series is now tied 3-3.
Game 7 will be at Cleveland's Rocket Arena on Sunday, a venue where the Raptors have never won a post-season game in 10 tries.
Scottie Barnes had a double-double with 25 points and 14 assists, adding seven rebounds. Barrett, from Mississauga, Ont., had 24 points and nearly had a double-double of his own with nine rebounds.
Evan Mobley had his best performance of the series with a double-double, scoring 26 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
Donovan Mitchell overcame a slow start to finish with 24 points and James Harden flirted with a triple-double with 16 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
Toronto was without two of its regular starters: point guard Immanuel Quickley and all-star forward Brandon Ingram, who was the team's scoring leader in the regular season.
Second-year guards Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead started in their stead. Walter finished with 24 points.
Ingram was ruled out by the Raptors less than two hours before opening tipoff. He had been listed as questionable after leaving early in Wednesday's 125-120 road loss in Game 5.
The two-time all-star aggravated inflammation in his right heel and the Raptors said it has not improved despite a day of rest.
Quickley has missed the entire series with a strained right hamstring.
