A scorching-hot first quarter gave the Sixers a quick 19-point advantage, and although they tried to let Toronto back into the game late via some boneheaded turnovers, Philadelphia ultimately hung on for the 109-102 victory. As my LB colleague Dan Volpone pointed out on Twitter, it was the first game Philadelphia made more 3s than their opponent (17 to 11 tonight) since the Lakers win on January 27.
