IT WAS OVER WHEN
Jonas Valanciunas knocked down a pair of free throws to put Toronto ahead 117-109 with 41.3 seconds remaining. After leading 109-90 with 5:41 remaining, the Raptors struggled to slow a furious Sixers push to get back into the game, but ultimately Toronto’s lead was too much for Philadelphia to overcome and the Raptors collected a 123-114 victory on the road.
STARTING OFF SLOW
The Raptors got off to a less-than-desirable start against the Sixers, shooting just 37 percent in the opening quarter. Toronto trailed 25-22 after the first 12 minutes after turning the ball over six times.
