Barnes’ Late Free Throw Lifts Raptors Over 76ers in OT, 116–115

Both sides stay shorthanded for a back-to-back rematch in Toronto.

Overview

  • Scottie Barnes hit the go-ahead free throw with 0.8 seconds left in overtime and deliberately missed the second to close out the 116-115 win.
  • Barnes finished with 31 points on 10-for-12 free throws, while Jamal Shead scored a career-high 22, Immanuel Quickley added 20, and Collin Murray-Boyles posted 17 points and 15 rebounds.
  • Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 38 points, including a late regulation three that forced a frantic finish before overtime.
  • Both teams were short-handed as Joel Embiid and Paul George sat for the 76ers, and the Raptors were without Brandon Ingram, Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett; Barnes returned from a sore knee and Ja’Kobe Walter exited with a hip issue.
  • Toronto shot a season-worst 5-for-32 from three, while Philadelphia committed 22 turnovers and recorded a season-low 11 assists.
