TORONTO — Gary Trent Jr. matched his season high with 35 points as the Toronto Raptors snapped a two-game slide with a 113-104 win against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
With the game tied at 101, Scottie Barnes drilled a three-pointer with 3:16 remaining followed by a three from rookie Christian Koloko 1:27 later for a six-point edge.
It proved to be just enough as Toronto closed 2022 by also snapping a five-game skid at Scotiabank Arena.
In a dismal month, the Raptors (16-20) went 5-10 in December.
