The Toronto Raptors (26 - 12) ran away from the Philadelphia 76ers (7 - 31) in a 100 - 84 win Wednesday. In DeMar DeRozan's first contest since Nov. 28, when he suffered a torn left groin, he immediately entered the starting five and did n't miss a beat, supplying 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 29 minutes. His backcourt mate, Kyle Lowry, again powered the offense, notching a near triple - double - - 18 points, 12 dimes, and seven rebounds - - while drilling four of the Raptors' 10 three - pointers. Reserve guard Lou Williams matched Lowry's four treys en route to 19 points of his own. Down low, Amir Johnson busted out for 10 points and 16 boards, marking his second consecutive double - double. Toronto will aim for back - to - back victories, and their third in four games, during Friday's matchup against the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks. Falling for the second contest in a row, the Sixers ultimately could n't keep pace with an intact Raptors rotation. Michael Carter-Williams did everything in his power to maintain a respectable result with a 29 - point, seven - rebound, four - assist effort, but his teammates combined to shoot less than 35 percent (19 - for - 55) from the field. While Robert Covington was a late scratch due to a right shoulder contusion, the night was n't all for naught, as both Nerlens Noel (12 points and eight rebounds) and K.J. McDaniels (10 points and eight boards) fell just shy of double - double territory. Upon their return to Philadelphia, the Sixers will face the New Orleans Pelicans for the first time this season.
