Quickley posts 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead Raptors past Thunder 103-101 in 4th straight win

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Immanuel Quickley had 23 points and 11 rebounds to help the Toronto Raptors defeat the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 103-101 on Sunday night.

R.J. Barrett scored 14 points and Scottie Barnes added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors, who won their fourth straight.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting. He scored at least 20 points for the 117th consecutive game, the second-longest streak in NBA history.

Lu Dort scored a season-high 19 points, Kenrich Williams scored 15 and Chet Holmgren added 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City was coming off a surprise home loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. It was the third time this season the Thunder lost consecutive games and just their fourth home loss.

The Thunder were missing starters Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein and key reserve Ajay Mitchell, among others, with injuries. They lost guard Cason Wallace during the game with a sore left groin.

Toronto led 64-60 at halftime and held Gilgeous-Alexander to nine points on 2-for-5 shooting before the break.

Gilgeous-Alexander got going in the third quarter, and his driving layup gave the Thunder a 68-66 lead. He scored 12 points in the period to help Oklahoma City take an 81-79 lead into the fourth.

Toronto led 101-99 when Barnes blocked a short jumper by the 7-foot-1 Holmgren and the Raptors grabbed the rebound.

Toronto's Jamal Shead missed two free throws with 13 seconds remaining, but the Raptors pulled in the rebound. Quickley was fouled and made two free throws with 8.2 seconds left to give Toronto the space it needed.

Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning league MVP with a reputation for strong clutch play, scored just three points in the final quarter and got off just one shot attempt.

Raptors: Host the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Thunder: Host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University has named Jennifer Mnookin, the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as its next president as it tries to move forward from two years of turmoil that included campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war and President Donald Trump's subsequent campaign to squelch student activism and force changes at the Ivy League school.

Mnookin's appointment was announced Sunday night. She will assume her new post on July 1, becoming Columbia's fifth leader in the past four years.

The Trump administration took aim at Columbia shortly after he took office last year, making it his first target in what became a broader campaign to influence how elite U.S. universities dealt with protests, which students they admitted and what they taught in classrooms.

Immigration enforcement agents imprisoned some Columbia students who had participated in pro-Palestinian protests in 2024. The administration canceled $400 million in research grants at the school and its affiliated hospital system in the name of combating antisemitism on campus, and threatened to withhold billions of dollars more in government support.

Ultimately, Columbia reached a deal with the administration to pay more than $220 million to restore the research funds. It also agreed to overhaul the university’s student disciplinary process and apply a contentious, federally endorsed definition of antisemitism not only to teaching but to a disciplinary committee that has been investigating students critical of Israel.

Mnookin's predecessor, Nemat Shafik, resigned in August 2024 following scrutiny of her handling of the protests and campus divisions. The university named Katrina Armstrong, the chief executive of its medical school, but she resigned last March, days after Columba agreed to the settlement. The board of trustees then appointed their co-chair, Claire Shipman, as acting president while they searched for a permanent leader.

Mnookin, 58, previously served as the dean of the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law before being named to her current post at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August 2022. She received her bachelor's degree from Harvard University, her law degree from Yale Law School, and her doctorate in history and social study of science and technology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
