PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Scottie Barnes scored 33 points, Immanuel Quickley added 23 and the Toronto Raptors snapped a four-game losing streak with a 106-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
Gradey Dick added 17 points, including a clutch late 3-pointer. Barnes fed Ochai Agbaji for a layup with 1:32 left to put the Raptors up for good.
Joel Embiid had 27 points and 12 rebounds, but the 76ers (20-33) fell a season-worst 13 games under .500. Jared Butler had 15 points off the bench, and Paul George added 12.
Tyrese Maxey had just five points on 1-for-9 shooting. He was 1-for-7 from 3-point range, where the 76ers finished 9-for-38.
TAKEAWAYS
Raptors: Before the game, the Raptors signed Brandon Ingram to a three-year, US$120 million extension. He was acquired from New Orleans last week but hasn’t played since Dec. 7 due to an ankle injury.
76ers: The Sixers got plenty of bench scoring, with 15 points from Butler and 13 from Quentin Grimes. But it came on a night when Maxey ended a run of 18 straight games of 25 or more points.
KEY MOMENT
Embiid shot 4-for-13 in the second half and 2-for-6 in the fourth quarter. He committed a turnover with the 76ers down two and 8.1 seconds left, allowing Dick to hit a free throw for the final margin.
KEY STAT
In an overall poor shooting game, the Raptors were 3-for-9 from 3-point range in the fourth, just enough to get the win.
UP NEXT
Raptors: Host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
76ers: Visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
