Scottie Barnes couldn’t enjoy scoring 41. “I think I got to let some time go off.”

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes expressed frustration after setting a career-high with 41 points in an NBA Cup group stage loss to the Orlando Magic. Barnes appeared somber postgame, admitting he could not celebrate the milestone and saying, "I'm raging on the inside." Barnes took only three free throws despite his aggressive, high-scoring performance.

Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic criticized the officiating, calling Barnes' lack of free-throw attempts "a little BS" after Orlando shot 29 free throws compared to Toronto's 15. The Raptors received secondary offensive contributions from Jakob Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley, Collin Murray Boyles, and rookie Allen Graves ahead of their upcoming road trip against the Los Angeles Lakers.
