76ERS 93, RAPTORS 75: Thaddeus Young led the way with 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting and five rebounds as visiting Philadelphia put together back-to-back wins for the first time in a month.
Jrue Holiday filled up the stat sheet with eight points, seven rebounds and seven assists and Nikola Vucevic added 12 points in 20 minutes for the 76ers.
Philadelphia had dropped 10 of 14 since a three-game winning streak from March 7-11, falling from fourth in the East to eighth. But a dominating performance at New Jersey on Tuesday night jumped the 76ers back into the win column and they were able to keep the momentum rolling.
Instead of fading late on the second night of a back-to-back, Philadelphia dominated the fourth quarter against the Raptors, who have dropped four straight. Holding a 63-57 edge, the 76ers began the frame with a 23-6 run that put the game away.
The reserves scored 16 points during the burst, including six from Young.
Alan Anderson and Ed Davis each scored 13 points for Toronto, which shot 36 percent.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Philadelphia shot 53 percent from the field but just 1 for 10 from beyond the arc. … The 76ers committed only four turnovers in the contest. … Raptors F/C Andrea Bargnani (calf) missed his second straight game.
