TORONTO 114, PHILADELPHIA 103\
DeMar DeRozan scored a season-high 35 points, Lou Williams had 21 and the Toronto Raptors snapped a five-game losing streak with a 114-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers … The Raptors had lost four of their five games on the road during their streak … Patrick Patterson scored 15 points for the Raptors and Greivis Vasquez added 12 … Nerlens Noel scored 17 points on 7-for-7 shooting for the Sixers … The Raptors at last built some breathing room late in the third to turn a onepoint lead into an eventual double-digit cushion in the fourth … Terrence Ross hit two three-pointers and Williams hit one over the final 3:44 of the third for an 83-76 lead … The Raptors stretched the lead to 105-91 with 3:04 left … With All-Star Kyle Lowry out (rest), DeRozan gave the Raptors a needed boost, shoot 12-for-24 from the floor.
Random Stuff
- Toronto enters Wednesday’s game looking to snap a three-game losing streak. This is only the fourth time since Dec. 9, 2013 the Raptors have dropped three or more games in a row
- Toronto’s offense has been held to five or less three-pointers in five consecutive games (Nov. 3-10), something that has not happened since Apr. 15-23, 2012.
- Since the start of the 2013-14 season Toronto ranks first among Eastern Conference teams with a 47-40 (.540) record on the road.
- DeMarre Carroll has missed the last two games (Nov. 8-10) with a sore right heel. Terrence Ross missed last night’s game vs. New York with a left thumb ligament injury. There is no timetable for Ross’ return. Both will not play tonight against Philadelphia.
Go Raps!
Also, don't forget to Remember those who fought so we can enjoy BBall games...
