The Toronto Raptors are feeling pretty good after a win against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder inside the Paycom Center to finish off their five-game road trip against Western Conference foes.

With 13 seconds to go, Raptors point guard Jamal Shead missed a pair of free throws, but Scottie Barnes was able to tap the ball out and Immanuel Quickley was able to secure the rebound. That put Quickley on the free throw line, where he made both of his attempts to take a four-point lead.

Thunder guard Isaiah Joe hit a shot to cut the deficit in half, but it was as the clock expired. The Raptors walked away with a two-point win.
