The Toronto Raptors secured a thrilling victory over the Indiana Pacers, clinching a top-two seed and home court advantage in the quarterfinals of the Emirates NBA Cup. Brandon Ingrams game-winning shot with 0.6 seconds left on the clock sealed the win for Toronto, who played with a depleted roster. The Raptors perfect four-and-zero record in the group stage, along with the Milwaukee Bucks loss, contributed to their success. Ingram led the Raptors with 26 points and 8 rebounds, while Scottie Barnes contributed with a double-double. The Indiana Pacers, who now have a 2-16 record, saw their all-Canadian backcourt of Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard contribute 15 and 9 points respectively. The Pacers had battled back from an 11-point deficit before Ingrams game-winning shot.
