Before The Tip: Sixers @ Raptors, Jan. 22nd

The Toronto Raptors hold a one-game lead over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers and will be looking to give themselves a little bit of breathing room Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena when the two Atlantic Division clubs meet. The rival squads have split a pair of prior meetings this season, the most recent meeting resulting in a 114-110 win for the Sixers. The Raptors prevailed 101-96 in the first game.

After "The Shot" put the final nail in Philly's coffin a year ago, there's no denying the rivalry between these two clubs is quite ripe. Every game feels like a playoff game, and considering the current makeup of the standings, Wednesday's game will be no different.
