The Philadelphia 76ers fired up their weekly slate on a roll. With the Toronto Raptors in town on Monday night, the Sixers hosted their Atlantic Division rival for the first time this season after facing the Raptors twice on the road earlier this year.
With one win and one loss up North, the Sixers looked to get a leg up on the Raptors on Monday night. Through the first half, the Sixers had a 14-point lead. A second-half run by the Raptors helped Toronto gain a seven-point lead in the second half.
The Sixers came back and forced overtime on Monday. Through the five-minute period, the Sixers put the Raptors away 5-2, picking themselves up a three-point win to make it five in a row.
The Sixers will look to keep the ball rolling on Wednesday. With the Detroit Pistons in town, the Sixers will face the rebuilding Eastern Conference squad for the first time this year. Last season, the Sixers found success against Detroit by picking up three wins in four matchups.
