Daily News | Sixers outlast Raptors, 104-101, in overtime to win fifth consecutive game
Pascal Siakam’s pull-up three-pointer bounced off the rim, and P.J. Tucker chest-bumped teammate Tobias Harris under the basket.
The Sixers overcame a poor shooting start — and a fourth-quarter drought — to win their fifth consecutive game, while the Raptors dropped their sixth game in a row. But the Raptors were pesky throughout, rallying every time the Sixers built a double-digit lead in each of the first three quarters and leading by as many as seven points in the final frame.
His night included a corner three-pointer that cut the Raptors’ lead to 96-92 and a key rebound that set up Embiid’s go-ahead free throws with about two minutes to play. After his tie-breaking overtime three-pointer, it looked like he had put the game out of reach on the Sixers’ next possession, but what appeared to be a four-point opportunity was instead called an offensive foul on P.J. Tucker after an officials’ review.
Contributions came from everywhere. Matisse Thybulle and Danuel House Jr. opened the quarter with three-pointers. Then Montrezl Harrell finished inside, and Shake Milton followed with a reverse layup. Later, House converted a layup through contact and a step-back three in the corner, and Harrell rattled the rim on a monster dunk.
