LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors Match Player Stats

LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors match player stats from their January 17, 2026 meeting tell a much more interesting story than the final score alone. The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Toronto Raptors 121-117 in overtime at Scotiabank Arena, overcoming a 14-point deficit and a late fourth-quarter situation in which Toronto appeared to have control. James Harden led the Clippers with 31 points and 10 assists, while Ivica Zubac produced a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds. For Toronto, Scottie Barnes finished with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Jamal Shead delivered 15 points and 13 assists.

The game is particularly useful for anyone studying NBA box scores because the basic numbers do not immediately explain why the Clippers won. Toronto made more field goals, collected the same number of total rebounds, and recorded more assists. The Raptors also led for most of regulation. Yet Los Angeles shot 52 percent from the field, converted 87 percent of its free throws, forced 12 steals, and produced the decisive response in the final minutes.

This breakdown looks beyond the headline score. It examines the individual performances, shooting efficiency, playmaking, rebounding, turnovers, fourth-quarter comeback, overtime execution, and the statistical reasons the Clippers left Toronto with a win.

LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors match player stats: Game Overview

The matchup took place at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Clippers entered the game with an 18-23 record and a 7-14 mark on the road. The Raptors were 25-18 overall and 13-10 at home.

The final result was:

Los Angeles Clippers 121, Toronto Raptors 117, overtime

The quarter-by-quarter scoring shows how dramatically the game changed.

Quarter	Clippers	Raptors
1st	24	32
2nd	28	29
3rd	26	28
4th	31	20
Overtime	12	8
Final	121	117

Toronto controlled the first three quarters, leading 89-78 after 36 minutes. The fourth quarter was the turning point. Los Angeles scored 31 points while limiting Toronto to 20.

That was not simply a matter of one hot shooting stretch. The Clippers became more aggressive, generated turnovers, attacked the free-throw line, and relied heavily on Harden’s ability to create shots when the offense became difficult to organize.

The overtime period then confirmed the momentum shift. Los Angeles scored 12 points and Toronto managed only 8.

Full Clippers Player Statistics

The Clippers received major contributions from several players rather than depending exclusively on Harden.

The most important point is that the Clippers had several highly efficient supporting performances.

Harden had the largest scoring responsibility, but his 10-for-27 shooting also shows how difficult his shot-making assignment was. He finished only 2-for-15 from three-point range. His value came from much more than his jump shot.

Jordan Miller was arguably the most efficient offensive player on the Clippers. He scored 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting and added 6 assists and 4 steals. His +20 plus/minus was also the best mark on either team.

Zubac was equally important in a different way. He scored 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting while grabbing 14 rebounds. His +15 plus/minus reflects how strongly the Clippers performed with him on the floor.

John Collins also provided a major scoring boost, making 6 of 7 field-goal attempts and all 3 of his free throws.

James Harden’s 31-Point Performance

James Harden was the obvious headline performer.

He finished with:

31 points
10 assists
2 rebounds
1 steal
1 block
4 turnovers
10-for-27 shooting
2-for-15 from three
9-for-10 from the free-throw line

The raw shooting numbers do not make this look like an efficient scoring night. Harden shot approximately 37 percent from the field and only 13 percent from three-point range.

Yet judging his performance solely through shooting percentage would miss the most important part of the game.

Harden became the central offensive decision-maker when Toronto had the game nearly under control.

Toronto led 109-101 with 3:35 remaining in regulation. The Raptors were in position to close out the game after controlling most of the night. Harden responded by scoring eight consecutive Clippers points, helping force overtime.

That sequence illustrates why veteran point guards can influence a game even when their perimeter shooting is poor. Harden’s ability to create pressure, draw fouls, make difficult decisions, and control possessions became more valuable as the game entered its highest-pressure stage.

His 9-for-10 free-throw shooting was particularly important. The free-throw line became one of the areas where Los Angeles gained an advantage.

Harden also opened overtime by making four consecutive free throws. Those points immediately put pressure back on Toronto.

His final statistical line was therefore a classic example of production that cannot be measured by field-goal percentage alone.

Ivica Zubac’s 16-Point, 14-Rebound Double-Double

Ivica Zubac was one of the Clippers’ most important interior players.

He posted:

16 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists on 7-for-10 shooting.

His 14 rebounds were the most by any player in the game.

Zubac’s offensive efficiency was also excellent. He attempted 10 shots and made 7, converting 70 percent from the field.

The timing of his return also mattered. He had missed the Clippers’ previous game against Washington because of a sprained left ankle. Against Toronto, he returned to the lineup and played 39 minutes.

His +15 plus/minus provides another indication of his overall impact.

Toronto actually finished with 12 offensive rebounds compared with 6 for Los Angeles. That means Zubac’s individual rebounding total did not come from a complete team advantage on the glass. Instead, his defensive rebounding helped the Clippers finish possessions and prevent Toronto from turning every miss into a second scoring opportunity.

Zubac also gave Los Angeles a reliable interior scoring option. His 7-for-10 shooting helped offset Harden’s difficult night from the perimeter.

Jordan Miller Was a Major Difference-Maker

Jordan Miller’s performance deserves more attention than the headline numbers usually receive.

He scored 19 points in 46 minutes while shooting:

8-for-11 from the field
3-for-5 from three-point range
6 assists
4 steals
1 turnover

His +20 plus/minus was the strongest individual mark in the game.

That combination is significant.

Miller was not simply an efficient scorer. He contributed as a secondary creator and defensive playmaker. His four steals tied the game high among all players, and his six assists helped Los Angeles maintain offensive movement.

When Harden struggled from three-point range, the Clippers needed other players to convert opportunities. Miller did exactly that.

His 8-for-11 shooting also meant the Clippers could remain efficient without requiring Harden to make difficult jump shots at a high rate.

Kris Dunn’s Two-Way Contribution

Kris Dunn produced one of the game’s more balanced performances.

He recorded:

15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.

He shot 4-for-6 from the field, 3-for-4 from three-point range, and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

That is an unusually efficient offensive line combined with significant defensive activity.

The four steals were especially valuable because Toronto committed 18 turnovers overall.

Dunn’s +10 plus/minus also shows that his contribution was not limited to individual statistics.

His performance is a good reminder that box-score analysis should consider both efficiency and role. A player who scores 15 points on six shots while generating four steals can influence a game differently from a high-volume scorer who needs 20 or more attempts to reach the same total.

Toronto Raptors Player Statistics

Toronto had strong individual performances as well, and its overall numbers explain why the Raptors controlled much of the game.

Player	MIN	PTS	FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	TO	STL	BLK	+/-
Scottie Barnes	41	24	9-21	0-4	6-7	7	6	3	1	1	-18
Brandon Ingram	41	19	7-13	2-4	3-3	6	2	5	0	2	0
Collin Murray-Boyles	35	11	4-9	0-1	3-5	4	3	3	0	2	-16
Ochai Agbaji	36	15	4-9	3-7	4-4	3	1	1	1	0	+1
Jamal Shead	39	15	4-11	2-6	5-6	4	13	3	1	0	+5
Sandro Mamukelashvili	22	13	6-9	0-3	1-1	2	1	1	0	0	+13
Gradey Dick	27	15	6-10	3-6	0-0	7	1	0	0	0	+2
Alijah Martin	11	5	2-3	1-1	0-0	0	1	0	0	0	-5
A.J. Lawson	13	0	0-2	0-1	0-0	3	2	2	1	0	-2

Toronto’s best individual scorer was Scottie Barnes with 24 points.

Brandon Ingram added 19 points, while Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji, and Gradey Dick each scored 15.

Sandro Mamukelashvili was another efficient contributor, scoring 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting in 22 minutes.

Scottie Barnes Led Toronto in Scoring

Scottie Barnes delivered Toronto’s highest-scoring performance with 24 points.

His final line included:

24 points
7 rebounds
6 assists
3 turnovers
1 steal
1 block
9-for-21 field goals
6-for-7 free throws

Barnes’ production was important because Toronto needed a primary creator capable of handling the ball against a Clippers defense that became more aggressive late.

He shot 0-for-4 from three-point range, so much of his scoring came from inside the arc and the free-throw line.

The most striking number, however, is his -18 plus/minus.

Plus/minus should never be treated as a complete measure of individual quality. It is heavily influenced by teammates, substitutions, matchups, and game context. Barnes still played a major role in keeping Toronto competitive.

However, the number does show how dramatically the game changed during his minutes compared with the Clippers’ strongest stretches.

Jamal Shead’s 13 Assists

Jamal Shead produced the game’s highest assist total with 13.

He finished with:

15 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 3 turnovers.

His 13 assists were a career-high according to the game recap.

That is one of the most important Toronto statistics because the Raptors finished with 30 assists as a team.

Toronto’s passing was one reason the Raptors were able to lead for long stretches. The team moved the ball effectively and generated enough quality offensive possessions to score 117 points.

Shead also scored 15 points, although he needed 11 field-goal attempts to reach that total.

His five free throws made also helped.

The problem was not that Toronto lacked playmaking. The bigger issue was that the Raptors could not sustain their offensive control when the Clippers increased pressure late in regulation.

Brandon Ingram’s Efficient Scoring

Brandon Ingram scored 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting.

He also added 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Compared with some of the other high-volume scorers in the game, Ingram’s efficiency stands out. He did not need a large number of attempts to contribute 19 points.

His three-point shooting was also useful, as he made 2 of 4 attempts from outside.

However, Toronto needed its main offensive contributors to maintain that efficiency throughout the final stages. The Raptors scored only 20 points in the fourth quarter and 8 in overtime.

That decline was the central offensive problem.

Team Shooting Comparison

The overall shooting numbers reveal one of the clearest reasons Los Angeles won.

Category	Clippers	Raptors
Field Goals	41-79	42-87
FG Percentage	52%	48%
Three-Pointers	13-36	11-33
3PT Percentage	36%	33%
Free Throws	26-30	22-26
FT Percentage	87%	85%

Toronto made one more field goal than Los Angeles.

That fact can be misleading.

The Clippers attempted eight fewer field goals and still scored four more points.

Their 52 percent shooting was five percentage points better than Toronto’s 48 percent.

Los Angeles also made two more three-pointers despite attempting only three more shots from beyond the arc.

The free-throw advantage was smaller but still meaningful. The Clippers made 26 of 30 free throws, while Toronto made 22 of 26.

That gave Los Angeles four additional free throws made.

Taken together, the shooting numbers show a team that generated more points per shot opportunity.

The Turnover Battle Was Crucial

Toronto had 18 turnovers.

Los Angeles had 16.

At first glance, the difference of two turnovers may not look dramatic. But the type of possessions created by those turnovers mattered.

The Clippers recorded 12 steals compared with only 4 for Toronto.

Los Angeles also scored 24 points off turnovers.

Toronto scored 15 points off Clippers turnovers.

That is a nine-point advantage for Los Angeles in a category directly connected to defensive pressure.

The Clippers’ 12 steals were particularly important because Toronto had been operating efficiently for much of regulation.

When a team forces turnovers late, it creates additional possessions without needing to win the rebounding battle.

That appears to have been a major factor in the comeback.

Rebounding Was Even

Both teams finished with 36 total rebounds.

This is an important detail because it eliminates rebounding as a simple explanation for the result.

Toronto had:

36 total rebounds
12 offensive rebounds
24 defensive rebounds

Los Angeles had:

36 total rebounds
6 offensive rebounds
30 defensive rebounds

The Raptors were much better at creating second-chance opportunities, grabbing twice as many offensive rebounds.

The Clippers, however, were stronger on the defensive glass.

That distinction matters.

Toronto generated extra chances, but Los Angeles did a better job securing defensive possessions once the ball was missed.

Zubac’s 14 rebounds were particularly important in that context.

Toronto Won the Assist Battle

Toronto finished with 30 assists.

Los Angeles recorded 25.

That five-assist advantage suggests that the Raptors were not simply relying on isolation scoring.

Jamal Shead’s 13 assists were the biggest driver of that number. Scottie Barnes added 6, and Collin Murray-Boyles contributed 3.

For Los Angeles, Harden led with 10 assists, while Jordan Miller added 6 and Kris Dunn had 4.

Both teams therefore had strong playmaking.

The difference came in what happened after the game became tight.

Toronto’s passing advantage helped produce an early lead. Los Angeles’ late-game shot creation and defensive pressure proved more decisive.

The Fourth Quarter Changed Everything

The fourth quarter was the defining statistical segment.

Toronto entered the period with an 89-78 lead.

The Raptors then scored 20 points.

The Clippers scored 31.

That 11-point swing erased the entire deficit.

The late sequence was even more important.

Toronto led 109-101 with 3:35 left in regulation.

The Raptors then went cold while Harden helped engineer an 8-0 Clippers run.

The game went to overtime tied.

This is where game flow matters more than traditional averages.

Toronto had been the better team for three quarters. Los Angeles became the better team when the game reached its most important possessions.

That is why a final box score can sometimes hide the true story of a basketball game.

Overtime Decided the Winner

The Clippers won overtime 12-8.

Harden immediately made his presence felt by hitting four consecutive free throws to begin the extra period.

Toronto remained within striking distance. Barnes scored with 55 seconds remaining in overtime to bring the Raptors within one.

Harden then answered with a pull-up jumper.

That sequence captures the difference between the teams in the final minutes.

Toronto had opportunities and received important scoring from Barnes.

Los Angeles had Harden, who was able to create a shot after the defense knew where the ball was going.

The Clippers ultimately finished the extra period with a four-point advantage.

Why the Clippers Won Despite Toronto’s Stronger Playmaking

A quick look at the team statistics might suggest Toronto should have won.

The Raptors had:

More field goals made
More assists
More offensive rebounds
The same total rebounds
More points in transition

Yet Los Angeles won.

The explanation is efficiency and pressure.

The Clippers shot 52 percent compared with Toronto’s 48 percent.

They shot 36 percent from three compared with Toronto’s 33 percent.

They made 26 free throws compared with Toronto’s 22.

They forced 12 steals compared with Toronto’s 4.

They scored 24 points off turnovers compared with Toronto’s 15.

And most importantly, they scored 31 fourth-quarter points and 12 overtime points after trailing for most of the night.

The game therefore demonstrates why no single box-score category should be treated as the deciding statistic.

The Harden and Shead Playmaking Contrast

One of the most interesting individual comparisons is James Harden versus Jamal Shead.

Harden:

31 points
10 assists
4 turnovers
2-for-15 from three
9-for-10 at the line

Shead:

15 points
13 assists
3 turnovers
2-for-6 from three
5-for-6 at the line

Shead had the better assist total.

Harden had the greater scoring burden.

This is a useful example of two different forms of offensive control.

Shead helped Toronto organize its offense and distribute the ball throughout the game.

Harden became the primary shot creator when possessions became more difficult and the margin for error disappeared.

Both performances were valuable, but Harden’s late scoring was more directly connected to the final result.

The Importance of Free Throws

Free throws are easy to overlook because they do not look as dramatic as three-pointers.

In this game, they mattered.

Los Angeles made 26 of 30.

Toronto made 22 of 26.

The Clippers therefore gained four points from the free-throw line.

Harden alone made 9 of 10.

Kris Dunn was perfect at 4-for-4.

John Collins also made all three of his free throws.

Toronto was also efficient at the line, shooting 85 percent, but Los Angeles created slightly more successful opportunities.

In an overtime game decided by four points, a four-point free-throw advantage is significant.

The Three-Point Battle Was Close

The Clippers made 13 three-pointers.

Toronto made 11.

That was a two-three-pointer difference.

Los Angeles shot 36 percent from three, while Toronto shot 33 percent.

Interestingly, Harden was not the player responsible for the Clippers’ three-point efficiency. He made only 2 of 15.

Other Clippers players compensated.

Jordan Miller made 3 of 5.

Kris Dunn made 3 of 4.

Kobe Sanders made 2 of 3.

Cam Christie made 1 of 2.

The supporting cast therefore absorbed much of the perimeter burden.

Toronto received three three-pointers each from Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick, while Brandon Ingram and Jamal Shead each made two.

The Raptors had enough perimeter production to remain competitive, but the Clippers gained a modest edge.

Plus/Minus Tells an Interesting Story

Plus/minus is one of the most misunderstood statistics in basketball.

It measures the team’s point differential while a player is on the court. It does not isolate an individual player’s performance.

Still, in this game, some of the numbers are notable.

For Los Angeles:

Jordan Miller: +20
Ivica Zubac: +15
Kris Dunn: +10
Kobe Sanders: +6

For Toronto:

Sandro Mamukelashvili: +13
Jamal Shead: +5
Gradey Dick: +2
Ochai Agbaji: +1

At the other end, Scottie Barnes finished at -18 and Collin Murray-Boyles at -16.

Those numbers should not be used to claim that Miller was automatically better than Harden or that Barnes played poorly. Context matters.

But the plus/minus figures do reinforce an important observation: Los Angeles received major contributions from its secondary units and supporting players.

The Bench Was Important for Los Angeles

The Clippers’ bench production helped keep the game within reach before the fourth-quarter comeback.

Jordan Miller scored 19.

John Collins scored 16.

Cam Christie scored 16.

Brook Lopez added 3.

Yanic Konan Niederhauser added 5.

TyTy Washington Jr. scored 3.

That gave Los Angeles multiple scoring sources.

Toronto also received useful bench production, especially from Sandro Mamukelashvili and Gradey Dick.

Mamukelashvili scored 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting.

Gradey Dick scored 15 on 6-for-10 shooting and made 3 of 6 three-pointers.

The difference was not simply that one bench was good and the other was bad. Los Angeles’ supporting production was particularly valuable because Harden struggled from deep.

Injuries and Availability Matter to the Box Score

Player statistics should always be interpreted alongside availability.

Kawhi Leonard did not play for the Clippers because of a sprained right ankle.

Toronto was also without Immanuel Quickley, who missed the game because of back spasms, and RJ Barrett, who was sidelined with a left ankle issue.

These absences affected the rotation and offensive responsibilities.

Without Leonard, Harden carried a larger shot-creation burden.

Without Quickley and Barrett, Toronto had fewer established perimeter creators available.

This is why comparing the numbers without considering who actually played can lead to misleading conclusions.

A box score describes what happened. It does not always explain the conditions that produced it.

What the Stats Say About Both Teams

The game reveals different strengths for the two teams.

Clippers strengths

Los Angeles demonstrated:

Efficient field-goal shooting.
Strong free-throw execution.
Aggressive perimeter defense.
Strong defensive rebounding.
Multiple reliable secondary scorers.
Late-game shot creation.
Strong overtime execution.

Raptors strengths

Toronto demonstrated:

Strong ball movement.
Offensive rebounding.
Early-game control.
Balanced scoring.
Effective interior play.
Strong three-point contributions from several role players.
Strong first-three-quarter execution.

The Raptors did many things well.

The problem was maintaining those advantages when the Clippers increased pressure late.

What This Game Teaches About Player Statistics

There is a broader lesson here for anyone analyzing NBA player statistics.

A player can have a poor shooting night and still be the most influential offensive player late in a game.

A team can have more assists and offensive rebounds and still lose.

A player can have a negative plus/minus and still have an excellent individual performance.

A high-scoring bench player can sometimes be more important to a victory than the team’s leading scorer.

These distinctions are essential when interpreting box scores.

The best analysis combines traditional statistics with game context.

In this matchup, the strongest story was not simply “Harden scored 31.”

The deeper story was that Harden’s scoring, Zubac’s rebounding, Miller’s efficiency, Dunn’s defensive pressure, and the Clippers’ late-game execution combined to overturn Toronto’s early advantage.

Key Takeaways From the Match

The most important statistics from the game can be summarized quickly.

Final score: Clippers 121, Raptors 117 in overtime.

Top scorer: James Harden, 31 points.

Top rebounder: Ivica Zubac, 14 rebounds.

Top assist producer: Jamal Shead, 13 assists.

Toronto’s leading scorer: Scottie Barnes, 24 points.

Best Clippers plus/minus: Jordan Miller, +20.

Best Toronto plus/minus: Sandro Mamukelashvili, +13.

Clippers field-goal percentage: 52 percent.

Raptors field-goal percentage: 48 percent.

Clippers three-point percentage: 36 percent.

Raptors three-point percentage: 33 percent.

Clippers turnovers: 16.

Raptors turnovers: 18.

Clippers steals: 12.

Raptors steals: 4.

Fourth-quarter score: Clippers 31, Raptors 20.

Overtime score: Clippers 12, Raptors 8.

Those numbers explain why the final result was closer than the comeback suggests but also why Los Angeles ultimately deserved the victory.

Who Was the Most Valuable Player?

James Harden is the clearest answer if the question is about the player who most influenced the outcome.

His 31 points and 10 assists were the highest combined scoring and playmaking output on the Clippers.

More importantly, he produced when the game was in danger of slipping away.

However, the most efficient Clippers performance belonged to Jordan Miller, while Zubac was arguably the team’s most important interior player.

That makes this a good example of why “best player” and “most valuable performance” do not always mean the same thing.

Harden supplied the late-game creation.

Zubac supplied interior efficiency and rebounding.

Miller supplied efficient scoring, assists, and steals.

Dunn supplied two-way pressure.

The victory was therefore built around a collection of complementary performances.

What Toronto Could Have Done Differently

The statistics point toward several areas Toronto would have wanted to improve.

First, the Raptors needed to protect the ball better. Eighteen turnovers against a team that generated 12 steals created too many transition opportunities.

Second, Toronto needed to execute more effectively in the final four minutes. Holding an eight-point lead with 3:35 remaining should normally provide a strong opportunity to close out a game.

Third, the Raptors needed better shot-making late. They scored only 20 points in the fourth quarter and 8 in overtime.

Fourth, Toronto needed to limit Harden’s ability to generate free throws and create late-clock offense.

These are not claims that one mistake cost Toronto the game. The outcome resulted from several factors accumulating at the same time.

What the Clippers Could Build On

For Los Angeles, the game offered several encouraging signs.

The Clippers showed that they could win despite poor three-point shooting from their primary scorer.

They received strong efficiency from supporting players.

They defended aggressively enough to create turnovers.

They protected the defensive glass.

They remained composed after trailing for most of the game.

And they executed in overtime.

The biggest positive may have been resilience.

A team that enters the fourth quarter trailing by 11 and eventually wins on the road has demonstrated a capacity to change the game without needing to dominate from the opening tip.

Conclusion

The LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors match player stats from this overtime thriller show why NBA games cannot be understood through scoring totals alone.

James Harden was the headline performer with 31 points and 10 assists, but his influence became most visible when the Clippers trailed 109-101 late in regulation. Ivica Zubac supplied 14 rebounds and highly efficient interior scoring. Jordan Miller delivered one of the most complete supporting performances with 19 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals. Kris Dunn added 15 points and 4 steals while shooting efficiently.

Toronto had plenty of strong performances. Scottie Barnes scored 24 points, Brandon Ingram added 19, and Jamal Shead recorded 13 assists. The Raptors also won the assist battle and offensive rebounding battle.

The deciding factors were efficiency, turnovers, defensive pressure, and late-game execution. Los Angeles shot 52 percent from the field, made 13 three-pointers, converted 26 free throws, forced 12 steals, and turned an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit into an overtime victory.

For anyone reviewing LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors match player stats, the most useful takeaway is that the box score becomes much more meaningful when individual numbers are connected to game flow. Harden’s shooting struggles did not prevent him from controlling the decisive possessions. Toronto’s strong playmaking did not guarantee a victory. Zubac’s rebounding mattered even though the overall rebounding totals were tied. Miller’s efficiency and Dunn’s defensive activity helped make the comeback possible.

That combination of individual production and situational performance is what made this matchup statistically compelling.
