SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Immanuel Quickley matched his career high with 40 points
and added 10 assists, and the Toronto Raptors ran away from Golden State early
Tuesday night for a 145-127 win in the Warriors' first game since losing star
guard Jimmy Butler to a season-ending right knee injury.
Quickley shot 11 for 13 and made all 11 of his free throws, while Scottie
Barnes added 26 points and 11 assists in the Raptors' highest-scoring game and
the Warriors' worst defensive performance this season.
Buddy Hield had season highs of 25 points and six 3-pointers --- making all of
his attempts from deep --- while Stephen Curry scored 16 points and Draymond
Green added six points, six rebounds and five assists.
Hield's 3 with 5:02 remaining cut Toronto's lead to nine points but Brandon
Ingram immediately hit from deep moments later.
With Butler out, Golden State coach Steve Kerr turned to Jonathan Kuminga for
the first time in 17 games and the high-flying forward finished with 20 points
on 7-for-10 shooting and five rebounds in 21 minutes. He has requested a trade
given his status so deep on the bench, but now it's unclear if the Warriors
will move him by the Feb. 5 deadline. He and Kerr spoke last week.
Curry missed his initial five 3-point tries before connecting with 25 seconds
left in the second quarter and the Warriors fell behind 70-50 at halftime after
shooting just 39.6% --- 6 of 23 from long range.
Ingram contributed 22 points, five rebounds and five assists and Toronto's 70
points by the break tied the most surrendered by a Warriors opponent in the
first half this season.
The Warriors had their four-game winning streak snapped with just their fifth
loss in the last 17 as they wrapped up an eight-game homestand. They committed
18 turnovers that led to 34 points for the Raptors.
Up next
Raptors: At Sacramento on Wednesday night to complete the road back-to-back.
Warriors: At Dallas on Thursday night.
