Regular Season Round 83: Philadelph.76 - Toronto R. 86-91
Date: January 23, 2015
Newly minted All-Star Kyle Lowry scored 17 of his 21 points in the final 5:30, and backcourt partner Greivis Vasquez dropped in the go-ahead layup with 25.9 seconds left as the Toronto Raptors rallied to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 91-86 on Friday night. Center Jonas Valanciunas contributed a key steal in the closing seconds for the Raptors (28-15), who erased a 77-68 deficit to win for just the fourth time in 12 games. Forward Robert Covington had 18 points and center Nerlens Noel had 12 points and 14 rebounds for Philadelphia (8-35), which dropped its fourth straight. The Sixers also learned earlier in the day that guard Tony Wroten, their leading scorer, is out indefinitely with a partially torn right anterior cruciate ligament. Noel and forward Luc Mbah a Moute combined for all the points in a 13-0 fourth-quarter rush, giving the Sixers a 77-68 lead with 5:39 to play. Lowry, who on Thursday was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his nine-year career, scored the next 13 Toronto points, and 15 in a 17-4 run that gave the Raptors an 85-81 lead with 1:15 to play. That included three 3-pointers, one over the 6-foot-11 Noel from the left corner. But Sixers guard Michael Carter-Williams hit a 3-pointer, then stole the ball from Lowry and went the distance for a layup that put the Sixers ahead 86-85 with 42.1 seconds remaining. Lowry missed a 3-pointer but guard DeMar DeRozan chased down the long rebound, leading to Vasquez's go-ahead layup. On the ensuing Philadelphia possession Carter-Williams drove the lane and tried to slip a pass to Noel, but Valanciunas stole the ball. Valanciunas' two free throws with 10.6 seconds left gave the Raptors an 89-86 lead. Center Henry Sims missed a 3-point attempt, and Lowry made two more free throws to account for the final margin. The Sixers rolled to a 15-0 lead courtesy of eight points from Covington, including two 3-pointers. Covington had two more triples as the Sixers built a 30-16 lead late in the period, but the Raptors began a 14-0 flurry that extended into the second quarter to tie the game, 30-30. Ex-Sixer guard Lou Williams had six points in that run, as did Vasquez. Toronto took its first lead of the night, at 35-33, on a 3-pointer by backup forward Patrick Patterson with 6:44 left in the second quarter. After seeing the Sixers edge in front, the Raptors notched 10 of the half's final 12 points to seize a 48-41 lead. Williams and Patterson had 10 points apiece in the half to top the Raptors. The Sixers, who were outscored 26-11 in the second quarter, were topped by Covington with 16. The Raptors were still up by seven points late in the third quarter, 62-55, despite missing nine straight shots at one point in the period. The Sixers scored six of the last seven points, including a 3-pointer by reserve guard/forward Hollis Thompson, to cut the gap to 63-62 heading into the fourth quarter. Toronto stretched its lead to 68-64 before the Sixers went on that 13-0 run featuring seven points by Mbah a Moute and six from Noel to go up 77-68 with 5:39 to play. Courtesy of: ktvz.com
