TORONTO -- — Ochai Agbaji scored the go-ahead basket with 1:33 left in the fourth quarter and the Toronto Raptors rallied to beat the Golden State Warriors 104-101 on Monday night.

Scottie Barnes scored 23 points and Jakob Poeltl had 13 points and 13 rebounds as the Raptors won for the second time in 18 games.

Chris Boucher scored 18 points, RJ Barrett added 15, and Agbaji and Gradey Dick each had 12.

Stephen Curry scored 26 points and Andrew Wiggins had 20 for the Warriors, who have lost two straight and four of their last five.

Golden State’s Buddy Hield had one last chance for a game-tying shot, but his 3-pointer in the final seconds fell short.

Toronto trailed 86-77 after a 3-pointer by Lindy Waters III with 9:27 left in the game, but outscored Golden State 27-15 down the stretch.

The Warriors played without Draymond Green (illness) for the second straight game. Toronto’s Immanuel Quickley sat because of a sore left hip.

Takeaways

Warriors: Hield led Golden State with 17 points in Friday’s loss at Indiana, but struggled against the Raptors. He shot 3 for 13, going 2 for 10 from 3-point range, and finished with eight points.
