The Toronto Raptors edged the Indiana Pacers 97–95 on November 26 at Scotiabank Arena in a defensive struggle that fell well short of the Vegas total of 233.5 points. Brandon Ingram led Toronto with 26 points, while Scottie Barnes added 24 in a balanced effort, though the Raptors shot just 38.9 percent from the field and made only 5 three-pointers. Indiana's T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin combined for 31 points but couldn't overcome the hosts' defensive intensity; the Pacers shot 44.9 percent and buried 11 threes yet committed 18 turnovers to Toronto's 13. The decisive factor came in the second quarter, where the Raptors outscored Indiana 29–24, building cushion that held through a fourth-quarter tie. Toronto's defensive rating of 92.1 proved marginally superior to Indiana's 92.1 offensive rating, while the Raptors' 48 rebounds to the Pacers' 43 provided crucial possession management. This low-scoring victory keeps Toronto competitive in the Eastern Conference race despite offensive limitations.
