Who won Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards?

Toronto Raptors beat Washington Wizards 113-112 at Capital One Arena on October 12, 2025.

The Toronto Raptors narrowly defeated the Washington Wizards with a final score of 113-112 in a thrilling contest at Capital One Arena. This game was particularly noteworthy as it marked the continuation of a competitive series, with the Raptors now leading the season series 2-1 against the Wizards.

Entering this matchup, the Wizards held a record of 0-1 for the season, while the Raptors boasted a 3-1 record, showcasing their stronger start to the season. The Wizards have struggled recently, with a home record of 1-5 in their last six games, and they have averaged 102.7 points scored while allowing 120.4 points per game during that span. Their last five games saw them with a record of 1-4, scoring an average of 99.8 points and allowing 117.4 points. In contrast, the Raptors have been more consistent, with a recent record of 5-5 over their last ten games, averaging 114.3 points scored and allowing 111.2 points.

The Wizards faced significant challenges due to injuries, with Jamir Watkins ruled out due to a knee injury. Additionally, Alex Sarr, Anthony Davis, and Trae Young were all listed as day-to-day, adding uncertainty to the team's lineup. The Raptors also had players dealing with injuries, including Nate Bittle, Alijah Martin, Chucky Hepburn, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Immanuel Quickley, all listed as day-to-day, which could impact their depth moving forward.

The game itself featured a series of tense scoring plays in the fourth quarter. With the game tightly contested, Jared Rhoden made two crucial free throws that pushed the Raptors ahead. Marvin Bagley III responded with a layup for the Wizards, but the Raptors maintained their lead through free throws from Malaki Branham. As the game drew to a close, Will Riley's free throws briefly gave the Wizards a 112-111 lead. However, Olivier Sarr's alley-oop layup, assisted by Jared Rhoden, sealed the victory for Toronto.

The betting market reflected the Raptors' stronger performance, with odds favoring them over the Wizards, although specific figures were not provided. The conditions in the arena were conducive to a competitive game, and the atmosphere was charged as both teams fought for an early season win.

Viewers should have noted the intense back-and-forth nature of the fourth quarter, where every possession counted, and the execution of free throws became pivotal in determining the outcome. The Raptors' ability to capitalize on late-game opportunities ultimately secured their victory in this closely contested matchup.
