After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Raptors 97-94. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
