On a night when all the Sixers' starters scored in double digits, DeRozan exploded for 45 points to will the Raptors to victory. This was his then-career-high and he played lights out on the road, against a tough opponent in 76ers.

DeRozan started the game hot and made a 22 feet three-pointer to get it going. He scored 15 points, but the Sixers took a 31-30 lead at the end of first quarter. In the second quarter, 76ers made big plays and extended the lead to 13 points at half-time.

However, Delon Wright went off in the third quarter and scored 12 points to cut the Sixers' lead to just 2 points at the end of three quarters. In the final quarter, the 4-time All-Star came up big once again and scored as many as 13 points, including two clutch free throws to help the Raptors edge past the Sixers.
