Through the first three quarters, it looked like the Golden State Warriors were on their way to a wire-to-wire win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night at Chase Center.
However, a furious comeback led by Kyle Lowry erased a 15 point fourth quarter advantage for the Warriors. Lowry’s onslaught gave the Raptors a lead with 3:22 remaining in the game. Lowry and Fred VanVleet traded buckets with Steph Curry, Kent Bazemore and Damion Lee to the final possession.
With Curry corraled on defense, Damion Lee had the ball in his hands with the chance to win the game for Golden State with four seconds left on the clock. Lee drew a foul with Lowry guarding him, giving the Golden State guard two free throws.
Lee buried both free throws attempts to give Golden State a one-point lead just seconds remaining. Tight defense from the Warriors forced a tough shot from Pascal Siakam, sealing Golden State’s win, 106-105.
