RJ Barrett's Buzzer-Beating 3 Forces Game 7 as Raptors Edge Cavaliers 112-110 in OT

TORONTO -- RJ Barrett hit a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Toronto Raptors pushed their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series to a seventh game by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-110 on Friday night. Evan Mobley had a chance to win it for Cleveland, but his 3-point attempt bounced off the front of the rim. Scottie Barnes had 25 points and 14 assists, Barrett and Ja'Kobe Walter each scored 24 points and Collin Murray-Boyles added 17 as Toronto held on after blowing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter. According to ESPN Research, Barrett became the first player in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98) to make a winning field goal in the final seconds of overtime to avoid elimination in the playoffs. Game 7 is in Cleveland on Sunday. The home team has won all six games so far in the series. Mobley had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Donovan Mitchell scored 24 points and James Harden had 16 for the Cavaliers. Jarrett Allen scored 14 points, and Dean Wade had 10. Harden shot 5 for 14 overall and 1 for 4 from 3-point range. He finished with nine rebounds and nine assists, but also made four turnovers. Cleveland finished with 18 turnovers, leading to 25 points for Toronto. The Raptors also held a big edge in fast-break points, outscoring the Cavaliers 20-6. Barnes had 14 points and 10 assists by halftime, making him the eighth NBA player since 1997 with 14 or more points and 10 or more assists in one half of a playoff game. Raptors forward Brandon Ingram did not play because of a sore right heel. Ingram left in the second quarter of Wednesday's 125-120 loss at Cleveland. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
