Beverley left the game with a concussion during the third quarter. He appeared to have hit his head off Marc Gasol's elbow as Gasol put up a screen. Beverley went to the locker room and did not return to the game.

The Raptors reduced a 20-point deficit to five points during the third quarter, but the Clippers came back to lead by as many as 24 points during the fourth.

Toronto was on top 32-27 after the first quarter.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson picked up his fourth personal foul with 7:48 to play in the second quarter, and Raptors coach Nick Nurse was given a technical foul, which George converted for a 37-36 Los Angeles lead. Ivica Zubac's dunk increased the margin to nine with 4:08 remaining in the half. The Clippers finished the first half with a 7-0 run and led 64-46.

Leonard made two free throws to open the third quarter, bumping the lead to 20. The Raptors responded with runs of 7-0 run and 6-0, trimming the deficit to five on Anunoby's two free throws with 5:09 left in the third. The Clippers went on a 16-4 surge to lead 88-71 after three quarters.

The Raptors played without Fred VanVleet (right knee contusion) for the second straight game. Toronto guard Patrick McCaw returned after missing 18 games due to arthroscopic knee surgery, and he did not score in 10 minutes.
