TORONTO (AP) — Immanuel Quickley scored 25 points, RJ Barrett added 21 and the Toronto Raptors held on to beat the Houston Rockets 107-104 on Friday, beating them for the fourth straight time north of the border.

Jakob Poeltl had 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Scottie Barnes added 13 points and 10 rebounds for Toronto, which achieved its second victory following losing eight of nine games.

The Raptors, who had just beaten Charlotte on Wednesday, had not won since January 1 and 3, when they beat Cleveland and Memphis respectively.

Barnes made 4 of 16 shots and came close to a triple double. He finished with eight of Toronto’s 24 assists.

Barrett’s seven assists were his highest of the season.

With five seconds left, Aaron Holiday missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game for Houston. The Rockets had the ball once more, but veteran forward Jeff Green missed the last shot.
