The Toronto Raptors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 110–98 on January 23 at the Moda Center, falling well short of the 225.5-point Vegas total in a defensive showcase. Sandro Mamukelashvili led Toronto with 22 points, while Brandon Ingram added 20; the Raptors shot 52.9 percent from the field and distributed 28 assists across their roster. Portland countered with balanced scoring from Shaedon Sharpe and Jrue Holiday, each posting 21 points, but the Trail Blazers managed only 39.8 percent shooting and made just 13 three-pointers. Toronto's fourth-quarter surge proved decisive—the Raptors outscored Portland 34–24 in the final frame after a tight third quarter. The Raptors' defensive rating of 96.6 compared favorably to Portland's 111.7, and Toronto's 46 rebounds to Portland's 45 reflected control of the glass despite similar rebounding totals. With 16 turnovers against 13 for Portland, Toronto's efficiency advantage and superior three-point shooting proved the difference in a matchup that stayed well below the over-under line. Toronto's road victory strengthens their positioning in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
