Immanuel Quickley had 27 points and seven assists while Brandon Ingram added 26 points and six assists.

Draymond Green had 21 points, seven assists and four rebounds for the Warriors. Jimmy Butler added 19 points, six rebounds and five assists.

The Raptors were without two of their centres as Jakob Poeltl (lower back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) were both unavailable.

Takeaways


Warriors: Curry was unstoppable in regulation time, even as he struggled from beyond the arc. One of the most prolific shooters in NBA history shot 4-for-11 from three-point range but still managed 39 points over four quarters thanks to 11 made free throws and 12 made field goals.

Raptors: Barrett’s minutes restriction and a lack of size with Poeltl and Murray-Boyles out meant Toronto struggled to keep pace with the Warriors. The visitors broke the game open in the third, outscoring the Raptors 36-23 until the final few minutes of the quarter when Toronto put together an 8-0 run to salvage the period.

Key moment

Brandon Ingram missed a 24-foot three-pointer with 24.8 seconds left in the fourth but Barnes tipped in the rebound to tie the game 122-122 and force overtime.
