Regular Season Round 105: Toronto R. - Philadelph.76 75-93

Date: April 11, 2012
When last seen, the Philadelphia 76ers were in free fall. The Raptors held them to a seven-point fourth quarter a week ago in a win over the Sixers that had head coach Doug Collins talking about showing his charges Tony Robbins tapes (facetiously) in hopes of getting things turned around. Not sure if he ever got around to the Robbins’ self-help tapes but it appears that a tweak to his starting lineup has done wonders. In the two games (including last night) since inserting Nikola Vucevic in the starting lineup at centre in place of Spencer Hawes, the Sixers are operating much more efficiently. Hawes responded to his demotion with a team-high 19 points on Tuesday in a 107-88 win over New Jersey. Wednesday in Toronto, Collins got a starting-five high 12 points from Vucevic and another 10 from Hawes off the bench in a 93-75 win over Toronto. That’s back-to-back wins following a four-game losing streak for Philly. The Sixers are trying to avoid a monumental second-half collapse. This is a team that was one of the NBA’s best in the first two months but has since gone into a tailspin and are now fighting it out with the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks for the seventh and eighth playoff spots in the East. The Raps, who were without Andrea Bargnani for the second consecutive game (he’ll have an MRI Thursday) were abused in the paint all night giving up 58 and scoring just 20 of their own. The only positive of the night from a Toronto perspective came from Ed Davis who had his second consecutive double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. *Courtesy of www.torontosun.com
