Raptors 92 Sixers 82
It Was Over When....
The 3rd quarter started. Ask any NBA expert and they will tell you that that the winner of a game is usually decided by who gets off to a better start in the 3rd quarter, and tonight that was certainly the case. The Raptors outscored the Sixers by 13 in the quarter (28-15) and never looked back.
The Game Ball Goes To....
T.J Ford with 12 points and 6 assists, Chris Bosh with 23 points and 13 rebounds, Joey Graham with 10 rebounds and 6 assists, Juan Dixon with 12 points and 6 assists off the bench, and Kris Humphries with 10 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
83.3, as in a free throw shooting percentage of 83.3 for the Raptors on the night, to just a free throw shooting percentage of 61.9 for the Sixers on the night. The Raptors only took 3 more free throws on the night than did the Sixers ( 24 to 21 respectively), but they hit 20 of them compared to the measily 13 converted by the Sixers. If the Sixers had been more consistent at the free throw line this game would have been much closer.
The Bottom Line Is....
Once again, the Sixers proved that they are not a playoff team, as they fall to 4 games behind Orlando for that final playoff spot with 7 games to play.
