Ron Harper Jr.’s scoring outburst went to waste anew as the Toronto Raptors suffered a 99-94 overtime defeat to the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA Summer League on Thursday night (Friday, Manila time) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The Filipino-American guard/forward led all the Raptors’ scorers with 19 points, including 9-of-10 free throw shooting, to go with three assists, two rebounds, one steal, and a block.
Harper, son of former Chicago Bulls legend Ron Harper Sr., converted two free throws at the onset of the extension period to force the final deadlock of the match at 93-all.
Since then, the Nets went on a 6-1 scoring run behind back-to-back inside conversions from Kennedy Chandler, followed by a tip-in by teammate Jalen Wilson, to secure the victory.
The Raptors ended their campaign with a 0-4 win-loss slate, while the Nets improved to 3-1 to keep their semifinal aspirations alive.
