The Sixers traveled to Toronto tonight as they looked to extend to a season best 3 game winning streak. Thanks to some solid defense and hot shooting they were able to do just that. Defensively, they simply did most things better than the Raptors, with the edge in rebounding, steals, and blocks. They also ensured that only 3 Raptors would score in double figures. Meanwhile, 7 Sixers scored in double figures, topped by Mo Speights 23 and 9 rebounds off the bench. Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams, and Jrue Holiday all chipped in with 15 as well, while Elton Brand added 14 and Thad Young and Evan Turner each had 10.
Toronto actually had hot hand early and took a 9 point lead into the 2nd quarter. The Sixers rallied back in the 2nd quarter pulled even at the half. The 2nd half was all Sixers as they amped up their defense and shooting. In the 3rd quarter they ran out to a 7 point advantage. In the 4th quarter they simply kept it going pushing the lead way into double figures before cruising to a 13 point, 107-94 win. With the win they move to 20-25 overall and maintain the 7th spot in the Eastern conference.
