Ivey hits buzzer-beating jumper to give Pistons 102-100 win over Raptors

Jaden Ivey calls game with buzzer-beater for Pistons

The Raptors took a 98-96 lead on RJ Barrett's 3-pointer with 1:47 left, but Ivey's driving layup tied it with 1:07 to go.

After both teams missed, Isaiah Stewart got free for a go-ahead dunk, but Scottie Barnes hit a layup in traffic to make it 100-100 with 22.3 seconds to play.

The Pistons called a timeout to set up the play. Ivey ran the clock down before driving past Ochai Agbaji for an off-balance jumper from the right baseline.

Ivey finished with 25 points as the Pistons broke a three-game losing streak.

Barnes led the Raptors with 31 points and Barrett added 17.

Takeaways Raptors: Barnes scored 20 points in the first half on 8-for-16 shooting including 3 of 8 on 3-pointers.
