The red-hot Toronto Raptors, fresh off a 114-109 victory over Philadelphia, will try to complete a sweep of the home-and-home set when they host the 76ers on Saturday.
DeMar DeRozan had 45 points and six 3-pointers, both career highs, as the Raptors erased a 22-point third-quarter deficit to win Thursday's game in Philadelphia. The victory was Toronto's fifth straight, and its 11th in 12 games.
"I think that DeMar was DeMar, and they're one of the elite teams in the NBA," Sixers coach Brett Brown said.
The Raptors, whose 22-8 record is second-best in the NBA's Eastern Conference, didn't play like an elite team until they fell behind 76-54 three minutes into the second half.
