CLEVELAND (AP) — Scottie Barnes had 28 points in a near triple-double, Immanuel Quickley added 25 points and the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 126-113 on Thursday night.

Barnes finished with 10 rebounds, eight assists and five blocked shots. The Raptors shot 56% from the floor and made 12 3-pointers to win for the sixth time in seven games.

Quickley shot 5 of 7 from 3-point range and had six assists. Jakob Poeltl added 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting and had seven rebounds.

Donovan Mitchell had 31 points after getting a night off Wednesday in Miami. Nae’Qwan Tomlin added 18 for Cleveland.

The Raptors were coming off a 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday and took advantage of the Cavaliers playing a back-to-back. Cleveland beat Miami 130-116 Wednesday night and was without All-Star Darius Garland (toe) and Lonzo Ball (rest).

Mitchell had six rebounds, six assists, two steals and hit 15 of 17 free throws after getting a rest day against the Heat.

Toronto led 67-54 at halftime, but Cleveland whittled the lead down to 90-85 by the end of the third quarter. The Cavaliers kept the Raptors in reach until Quickley hit a pair of 3-pointers sandwiched around RJ Barrett’s floater to push the lad to 118-105.

SUNS 133, PACERS 98

PHOENIX (AP) — Devin Booker scored 33 points, Dillon Brooks added 32 and Phoenix won its fifth straight game by beating Indiana.

The Suns led by 20 early in the third quarter, but the Pacers cut it to 83-73 a few minutes later. Phoenix responded with a 16-0 run — highlighted by 10 straight points from Booker — to take a 106-84 lead into the fourth.

Booker shot 12 of 22 from the field and added seven assists and five rebounds. Brooks made 12 of 18. The Suns were shooting well above 60% from the field deep into the fourth quarter.

Oso Ighodaro had 17 points, seven rebounds and three blocks off the bench.

HAWKS 132, JAZZ 122

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jalen Johnson had 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 132-122 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.

Johnson reached career highs in points and assists in his third career triple-double.

Playing without Trae Young, the Hawks have won four straight and made 24 3-pointers, the most by any NBA team this season.

Onyeka Okongwu was 8 for 14 from 3-point range after never having made more than four in a game on his way to a career-high 32 points.

The Hawks set a franchise record with 15 3-pointers in the first half on 25 attempts, led by Vit Krejci’s 5-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Krejci made one 3 in the second half and finished with 20 points.

Lauri Markkanen scored 40 points on 15-for-25 shooting. Rookie Ace Bailey notched another career best with 21 points and Keyonte George added 19 for Utah, which has yet to post consecutive wins this season.
