The Toronto Raptors dug themselves a deep second-quarter hole against the Philadelphia 76ers Friday night, and — despite a valiant effort — couldn’t climb out, as they fell 117-110 in Philly.
The Raptors doomed themselves with an absolutely brutal second quarter defensive effort, as they allowed the 76ers to shoot 86% in the frame, and were outscored 46-27. They fought back after halftime, and got the lead down to two midway through the fourth, but ran out of gas in the end.
Scottie Barnes led all scorers with 29 points; he had 9 rebounds and 8 assists as well.
