A memo to the opponent: when you play the Raptors, you’re never out of a game.
Toronto blew a 15-point, fourth quarter lead, but rallied to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-93 at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday night.
Sixers guard Lou Williams held the Midas touch, dropping 14 points in the final frame to help turn an 80-65 deficit into a 93-93 tie with 2:06 to play.

It wasn’t handsome but a win still looks good.
Chris Bosh poured in 36 points and added 11 rebounds as the Toronto Raptors used a fourth-quarter comeback to slip by the Sacramento Kings 115-104 at the Air Canada Centre on Sunday afternoon.
The Raptors trailed 87-84 heading into the fourth but outscored the Kings 31-17, assisted by a 19-8 run to end the game.
The decisive shot came when Antoine Wright took a Bosh pass in the corner and drilled a three-pointer with 4:12 remaining, to increase the lead to 105-97.

Raptors have Wright stuff dousing Heat

With 20 seconds remaining in the fourth, the Miami Heat watched Raptors forward Antoine Wright, a career .295 shooter from three-point land, launch a crucial three ball with Toronto up by four.
Considering the offensive weapons at the Raps’ disposal, that would be a best case scenario for the defence.
In one fluid motion, Wright released the jumper and buried the shot to cement an exciting 111-103 win over the visiting Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

After hitting only three of their first 16 shots, it looked liked the Raptors would treat the Air Canada Centre crowd to a game as stimulating as waiting for a delayed flight to arrive.
However, what followed couldn’t have been more the opposite.
With a complete team effort the rest of the way, the Raps dismantled and dominated the Dallas Mavericks in a convincing 110-88 victory.

Hedo Turkoglu calmly dribbled along the baseline, gliding past the Indiana Pacers’ porous defence for an uncontested reverse lay-up.
That basket gave the Raptors a 59-36 lead with four minutes left in the second quarter but it all came crashing down, in a demoralizing 105-101 loss on Monday night.

The Toronto Raptors took the lead early in the first quarter and then hung on to beat the Orlando Magic 108-103.
Despite leading by as many as 16 points in the fourth quarter, the Raptors almost saw that lead disappear thanks to a one-sided reffing effort involving nine straight foul calls against Toronto. However, the lead was too great for Orlando to overcome as the Raptors went to .500 (17-17) for first time since starting the season 5-5.
