Toronto's thrilling 141-127 overtime victory against the Warriors on December 28 was undoubtedly a commendable team effort overall, but if you were to call it the Scottie Barnes show as well, then you'd be completely justified in doing so.
In 42 minutes of action, Barnes recorded 23 points on 11-for-17 shooting, a whopping 25 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, and one block, serving as the Raptors' backbone as they took control of the entertaining game. It would mark Barnes' first triple-double of the 2025-26 season and the seventh time in his career that he has achieved this, which, according to Raptors PR, is the most by a Raptors player aged 24 or younger.
