Philadelphia broke their five game losing streak shooting 9-12 from the three point arc and 45-81 from the field. Andre Iguodala added 16 points and a season high 10 assists in the win and also shot the Raptors bench a grimacing look as he nailed a fade away jumper in the fourth quarter to help put the game away.
