The Philadelphia 76ers dominated the Raptors after using an 80-point first half on Monday evening, bouncing back from Sunday’s overtime loss to Toronto.
Tyrese Maxey dropped 33 points, Joel Embiid added 27, while VJ Edgecombe and Paul George each scored 15.
Embiid and George were back in the lineup after sitting out on Sunday due to left knee and left groin.
Raptors’ Immanuel Quickley dropped 18 points, Brandon Ingram added 17 and 10 rebounds, while Scottie Barnes scored 15.
Barnes sank the game-winning free throw on Sunday and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday.
The Sixers’ 80 first-half points were the most by a Raptors opponent this season as they made 27 of 37 field goals in the opening half, including 13 of 20 from long range.
Ingram returned after missing two games because of a sore right thumb, while RJ Barrett sat for the second straight game due to a left thumb.
Philadelphia’s biggest lead was 33 points, 87-54, after an Edgecombe three with 8:24 remaining in the third.
Meanwhile, the fans chanted “We want Lowry” in the fourth quarter, then rose for a standing ovation when former Raptors player Kyle Lowry subbed in for Maxey with 1:57 left to play.
Lowry starred for the Toronto team that won the 2019 NBA championship.
Both teams will compete on Wednesday, as the Sixers host the Cavaliers, while Toronto is on the road against the Pacers.
