TORONTO -- — Immanuel Quickley scored a season-high 34 points and the Toronto Raptors overcame a dominant rebounding effort by Walker Kessler to beat the Utah Jazz 118-109 on Friday night.
Quickley added five rebounds, five assists and three steals in the Raptors' third straight win. Scottie Barnes had 22 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

Utah, last in the Western Conference, suffered its fourth straight loss.
Raptors rookie guard Ja’Kobe Walter had 14 points, five rebounds and two assists before leaving the game in the third quarter after straining his right quad.
