The Toronto Raptors (16 - 5) defeated the Denver Nuggets (9 - 12) 112 - 107 on Monday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The Raptors were able to get out to a 62 - 52 lead after the first half, but the Nuggets turned in a big third quarter and evened it back up going into the fourth. After ending regulation tied 102 - 102, they went into overtime where the Raptors held the Nuggets to only five points, therefore securing the victory. The Raptors received a big contribution off the bench in the overtime win. Louis Williams led all scorers with 26 points (7 - 16 FG, 3 - 10 3Pt, 9 - 10 FT), while also grabbing three rebounds. It was a nice bounce back game for him, after scoring only five points on Friday against the Cavaliers. Patrick Patterson was the other big bench presence, as he went 7 - for - 11 from the field and 5 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score 19 points. He also chipped in eight rebounds, in what was arguably one of his best games of the year. Starting at center, Jonas Valanciunas recorded his fifth double - double of the year, finishing with 18 points and 12 rebounds. He did it on the defensive side of the ball as well and recorded a season - high of four blocks. Kyle Lowry and Terrence Ross had 13 and 16 points respectively, with Lowry handing out 13 assists. The Nuggets backcourt did most of the damage to the Raptors. Arron Afflalo went 9 - for - 14 from the field and 4 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 25 points, while adding six rebounds. Ty Lawson also had a big game and recorded 22 points (8 - 19 FG, 2 - 8 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) and 12 assists. It was his ninth straight game with at least 10 assists. Wilson Chandler got off a team - high of 21 shots, but only converted on seven, giving him 18 points on the night. He's now combined for 67 points in the last three games, as he continues to get off a ridiculous amount of shots. Both J.J. Hickson and Timofey Mozgov reached double - figures, scoring 10 and 15 points respectively. Mozgov contributed 12 rebounds to go along with his 15 points, giving him his second double - double in a row. The Raptors' next game will be on the road against the Cleveland Cavliers on Tuesday, while the Nuggets will be at home against the Miami Heat on Tuesday as well.
