The Sixers did what the Sixers do.
They blew a lead in the second half en route to suffering a loss.
This time, it happened against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. The Raptors battled back from a 22-point third-quarter deficit to take a 114-109 victory at Wells Fargo Center.
The loss dropped the Sixers — who were without starters Joel Embiid and JJ Redick — to 14-17 and extended their losing streak four games. This also marked their eighth setback in nine games. Meanwhile, the Raptors (22-8) have won five straight and 11 of their games.
