Raptors Roll Past Short-Handed Sixers 121-112 on Third-Quarter Surge

Turnovers decided it, with a lopsided third quarter exposing Philadelphia's shorthanded rotation.

Overview

  • Toronto seized control with a 44-26 third quarter, opening the half on an 18-7 push and hitting 5 of 6 from deep in the period.
  • Philadelphia committed a season-worst 21 turnovers that turned into 31 Raptors points, undercutting an early halftime lead.
  • Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett scored 22 apiece for Toronto, with Jakob Poeltl adding 19 and Immanuel Quickley netting 18 including clutch late 3-pointers.
  • Tyrese Maxey paced the Sixers with 24 points and nine assists, while Quentin Grimes and rookie VJ Edgecombe each had 21 in a late rally that fell short.
  • Joel Embiid sat with right knee injury management as Paul George was held out for left knee management and Kelly Oubre Jr. began a 2+ week absence for a sprained LCL; Philadelphia visits Milwaukee next.
