Toronto's swiss-army knife forward showed why rebounding might be his most underrated skill. Barnes controlled the glass all night against Atlanta, putting together a stat line never before seen in NBA history. In the second quarter at Scotiabank Arena, he showcased his court vision with a dime to Brandon Ingram for an easy deuce. But Barnes saved his best work for winning time - receiving a pass from Ja'Kobe Walter on the low block and throwing down a thunderous dunk in the fourth quarter to keep the Raptors alive, then tipping in the game-tying bucket with 23 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. In the extra frame, Barnes sealed the deal with a clutch layup that put Toronto ahead for good. The versatile forward became the first player in NBA history to record 23 points, 25 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals in a single game, leading the Raptors to the 141-127 victory on December 28, 2025. · Dec 28, 2025
