On Monday, January 13, 2026, the Philadelphia 76ers dominated the Toronto Raptors with a score of 115-102. The 76ers' stellar performance in the first half, where they scored an impressive 80 points, was a key factor in their victory. Tyrese Maxey led the scoring with 33 points, while Joel Embiid contributed 27 points. The 76ers' strong performance came after a tough overtime loss to the Raptors on Sunday. The return of Embiid and Paul George to the lineup after their absence on Sunday added a boost to the team's morale. The crowd chanted 'We want Lowry!' in the fourth quarter, and their cheers were rewarded when Kyle Lowry, a former Raptors player, checked in for Maxey. However, Lowry's performance was not up to par, as he airballed a 3-pointer and missed all three shots he took. Immanuel Quickley scored 18 points, and Brandon Ingram had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors. Scottie Barnes, who hit the game-winning free throw on Sunday and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week earlier that day, scored 15 points for Toronto. The 76ers' 80 first-half points were the most by a Raptors opponent this season. The 76ers made 27 of 37 field goals in the opening half, including 13 of 20 from long range, and shot 13 for 13 at the free throw line. Maxey scored 18 points in the first quarter alone, helping Philadelphia build a 45-28 lead after one. The 76ers' strong performance continued in the second quarter, where they made seven of eight 3-pointers. Ingram returned after missing two games due to a sore right thumb, while RJ Barrett sat for the second straight game. Philadelphia's biggest lead was 33 points, 87-54, after an Edgecombe 3 with 8:24 remaining in the third quarter. The 76ers will host Cleveland on Wednesday, while the Raptors will be at Indiana.
