Clippers fall to Raptors 115-108 without Powell

The Toronto Raptors defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 115-108, marking their eighth win in ten games and ending a five-game losing streak against the Clippers. RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 20 points, supported by Gradey Dick and Scottie Barnes, while Kawhi Leonard struggled, scoring only 14 points on 1-for-4 shooting from three. The Raptors dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Clippers 24-10, largely due to their effective fast-break opportunities. The Clippers had previously secured a 112-104 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, with Norman Powell scoring 27 points and Kawhi Leonard contributing 21. Despite the loss to the Raptors, the Clippers had a strong road trip, finishing with a 2-2 record. Both teams are set to play again on Tuesday night, with the Raptors facing the Knicks and the Clippers hosting the Lakers.
