The Toronto Raptors edged the Portland Trail Blazers 121–118 on December 2 at Scotiabank Arena in a defensive battle that finished well below the Vegas total of 230.5 points. Scottie Barnes led Toronto with 28 points while Immanuel Quickley added 23, anchoring a Raptors offense that shot 53.3 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers. Portland countered with Dario Avdija's 25 points and Shaedon Sharpe's 23, though the Blazers' 15 made threes couldn't overcome their 39 rebounds compared to Toronto's 43. The Raptors' 33 assists and 10 steals showcased balanced playmaking and perimeter pressure, while a dominant second quarter (28 points) proved decisive—Portland managed just 20 in that frame. Despite a fourth-quarter surge from the Blazers (36 points), Toronto's offensive rating of 112.8 held firm enough to secure the two-point victory. The loss stalls Portland's momentum as Toronto continues building chemistry in the Eastern Conference.
