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!
