The Toronto Raptors (33 - 15) barely edged out the Washington Wizards (31 - 17) 120 - 116 in overtime Saturday at the Verizon Center. The Raptors took a 16 - point lead into the fourth quarter, but the Wizards fought back to force overtime by outscoring Toronto 31 - 15 in the final period. Toronto's Kyle Lowry and Amir Johnson combined for 10 points in overtime to help the Raptors seal the game. The Raptors now hold a two - game lead over the Wizards. Toronto notched its second overtime victory in as many nights Saturday, narrowly avoiding an embarrassing meltdown to maintain its hold on the second seed in the East. Louis Williams and Patrick Patterson each scored in double figures off the bench while Lowry led the Raptors in scoring with 23 points. James Johnson was sidelined for the second straight game as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. The Raptors will kick off a five - game home stand on Monday when the Bucks come to town. Washington's incredible fourth quarter was nearly enough to vault the Wizards to a huge comeback victory, but it fell short. John Wall and Bradley Beal combined for 54 points and Wall added 12 assists. Nene Hilario returned to action after missing Wednesday's contest with foot soreness. Hilario contributed 16 points and four rebounds over 38 minutes on the floor. Washington will return to action Monday when Charlotte comes to the Verizon Center.
