Raptors 114, 76ers 103:
DeMar DeRozan scored a season-high 35 points and grabbed nine rebounds as visiting Toronto snapped a season-high five-game skid.

Lou Williams had 21 points and fellow reserve Patrick Patterson tallied 15 for the Raptors, who shot 51.3 percent and made 21-of-24 free throws. Greivis Vasquez and Terrence Ross chipped in 12 points apiece to help Toronto survive its second straight game without All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry, who is nursing several minor issues.

Ish Smith set career highs with 19 points and nine assists to lead the way for Philadelphia, which has dropped seven of eight. Nerlens Noel made all seven of his shots en route to 17 points, Isaiah Canaan had 14 and Thomas Robinson contributed 13.

DeRozan hit seven free throws in a 15-point first quarter as Toronto claimed a 26-22 lead, and his 3-pointer late in the first half helped the Raptors take a 55-49 edge into the locker room. The 76ers got within a point with four minutes to go in the third quarter before Ross was good from long range to ignite an 8-1 burst and Williams' triple later on put Toronto up 83-76 entering the fourth.

Vasquez also hit a big 3-pointer with 10 minutes left to push the margin to double digits for the first time. Noel's dunk cut his team's deficit to 96-89 just past the midway point of the quarter, but DeRozan answered with two free throws, Williams hit a 3-pointer and DeRozan added two more baskets to break it open.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Toronto has won eight straight in the series. ... DeRozan and Williams combined to make all 17 of their free throws. ... C Henry Sims and PF Luc Richard Mbah a Moute also hit double digits with 10 points apiece for the 76ers.
