Scotty Barnes took the court for the Toronto Raptors on Sunday afternoon.
Barnes produced a stunning triple-double to lead the Raptors to a 141-127 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday at Scotiabank Arena. He notched a triple-double before overtime and finished with a career-high 25 rebounds in the win – the most by a player in a game in the league so far this season. This also tied the Raptors franchise record set by Bismack Biyombo in 2016.

Barnes had 23 points, 10 assists and 25 rebounds. This is his seventh career triple-double and the first 20-20 triple-double in Raptors history. Barnes is now just the second player since 1980 to go 20-25-10 anywhere in the league, joining Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
The Warriors appeared poised to pull off a win in Canada on Sunday afternoon, taking a four-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. But the Toronto Raptors ended the regular season with a 9-2 run, with Barnes tipping in a layup with 23 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Brandon Ingram was looking to get the win at the end, but he fell short.
At that point, the Warriors are done. The Raptors went on a 10-0 run in overtime and eventually defeated the Golden State Warriors 19-5 in overtime, winning by 14 points.

The loss ended a three-game winning streak for the Golden State Warriors, who currently sit at 16-16 on the season. They will face the Brooklyn Nets next Monday night in New York, the second game of a three-game road trip.
