  • R.J. Barrett led the Raptors with 31 points, his first 30-point game since December 16, showcasing his offensive resurgence.
  • The Raptors have now won 10 of their last 15 games, thriving under coach Darko Rajakovic's defensive system and strong team chemistry.
  • The 76ers have been officially eliminated from playoff contention and have lost eight straight games, allowing at least 110 points in 19 consecutive contests.
