With the Raptors ahead 111-104 and 2:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Wizards went on an 8-0 run capped by a pair of free throws from Will Riley of Kitchener, Ont., to take the lead with 0.8 seconds left. 

However, Jared Rhoden found Olivier Sarr with an inbound pass for the alley oop layup to win the game.

Toronto will next visit the Celtics in Boston on Wednesday.
