The Blazers were without star forward Deni Avdija, who missed the game with a lower back strain.<\/p>\n
Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe each scored 21 points in the loss that snapped Portland\u2019s four-game win streak.<\/p>\n
Toronto, which has won three straight, led 76-74 heading into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Holiday tied the game at 76 on Portland\u2019s first possession of the fourth quarter. Donovan Clingan briefly gave Portland a 78-76 lead before the Raptors hit back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 82-78. A dunk by Scottie Barnes extended the advantage to 84-78 with 9:58 left.<\/p>\n
Holiday scored nine of Portland\u2019s first 11 points in the fourth quarter, but the Raptors kept them at bay with a balanced attack.<\/p>\n

Mamukelashvili was fouled on a layup that put the Raptors up 95-87 and after he failed to convert the 3-point play, the Raptors scored off the rebound on a basket from Ingram to up the lead to 10.<\/p>\n
Caleb Love\u2019s 3-pointer made it 98-94 but that was as close as Portland would get in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Love\u2019s layup with 2:23 left in the third quarter gave Portland its first lead of the game at 73-72, but Ochai Agbaji\u2019s tip in on the next possession gave Toronto the lead back at 74-73.<\/p>\n
The Raptors led 50-43 at halftime.<\/p>\n
In the first quarter the Blazers shot a horrendous 4 for 26 (15.4%) from the field, including 1 of 11 (9%) from the 3-point line. Despite Portland\u2019s poor shooting, the Raptors only led 19-12 after the first quarter.<\/p>\n
