PHILADELPHIA—With basically the season in the balance, the Raptors came up with their toughest effort of the NBA playoffs.
In a delightful, physical, close-all-way display of NBA playoff basketball, Toronto rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 101-96 Sunday afternoon.
The win reduces the Eastern Conference semifinal to a best-of-three affair with Game 5 at the Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday and Game 6 here on Thursday night. A seventh game, if necessary, would be next Sunday in Toronto.
