Scottie Barnes recorded his seventh career triple-double Sunday, and the Toronto Raptors dominated overtime to defeat the visiting Golden State Warriors 141-127.

Barnes had 23 points, a career-best 25 rebounds and 10 assists to help Toronto rally from a 13-point third-quarter deficit. It was the first 20-20 triple-double ever recorded by a Raptor.

Toronto scored the first 10 points of overtime in winning the opener of a five-game homestand.

Brandon Ingram scored 26 points for the Raptors. RJ Barrett contributed 12 points on his return after missing 15 games with a sprained right knee. Immanuel Quickley scored 27 points. Ja’Kobe Walter had 18 points, Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 13 points and Ochai Agbaji scored 10.

Stephen Curry scored 39 points for the Warriors, who had a three-game winning streak end in the opener of a three-game road trip.

Draymond Green added 21 points, Jimmy Butler scored 19, Will Richard scored 10 and Brandin Podziemski scored 13 points.

The Warriors led by four points entering the fourth quarter, which opened with Curry’s three-point play and Buddy Hield’s 3-pointer that increased the lead to 10. Golden State played some solid defense and led by 12 on Moses Moody’s 3-pointer with 7:54 left.

Toronto rallied to tie the game on Quickley’s 3-pointer with 46 seconds remaining. Podziemski’s putback layup gave Golden State a two-point lead with 33 seconds left. Barnes tied it at 122 with a layup, and when Ingram missed a last-second shot, the game went to overtime.

Toronto led 33-29 after one quarter.

Golden State rallied with a 13-0 run capped by Richard’s steal and dunk to take a 56-50 lead with 5:04 to play in the second quarter. Toronto came back to tie at 58 on Barnes’ layup with 3:11 to go. Ingram’s layup gave Toronto a 65-64 halftime lead.

Golden State started the third quarter more aggressively and took a three-point lead with 10:52 to play on Curry’s four-point play. Toronto was caught flat-footed when Green nailed two consecutive 3-pointers, Butler drained two free throws and Green stuffed a layup to bump the lead to 12 with 7:42 remaining. The lead reached 13 before the Warriors got careless and the Raptors used three steals to cut the lead to 100-96 after three quarters.
