The Warriors defeated the Toronto Raptors, 106-105, Sunday night at Chase Center.

Steph Curry, who entered the night as the NBA’s second-leading scorer, was the target of an aggressive Raptors defense that chased, battered and bloodied the two-time MVP. He finished with just 11 points on 2-of-16 shooting (1-of-10 from 3-point range), while Damion Lee’s free throws with 4.3 seconds remaining clinched the win for the Warriors (6-4).

The Warriors have now held their opponent to fewer than 110 points in four-straight games. Tonight, they held the Raptors to 40.6% shooting and the half-court defense was at it’s best of the season: Back out Toronto’s 25 fast-break points and they scored just 80 against Golden State’s set defense.

Wiggins, in particular, had a strong night, as he defended multiple positions. He spent most of the game on Siakam, who needed 19 shots to score 25 points. When Lowry got hot in the fourth, Kerr stuck Wiggins on him to slow him down. On Toronto’s final possession of the game, Wiggins picked up Siakam at the logo, stayed in front of him and forced him into a tough turnaround jumper.
