The Toronto Raptors avoided elimination on Saturday by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 110-102. While they still face a big 3-1 deficit in this series, the Raptors now have a little momentum heading into Game 5.

In Game 4 on Saturday, the Raptors’ defense finally stepped up, holding the 76ers to a series-low 102 total points and they finally found a way to limit Tyrese Maxey, as the second-year guard that had been destroying Toronto only went for 11 points on 4-12 shooting.

For the Raptors, Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. stepped up with a combined 58 points in the win and they truly were the only two means of offense for Toronto in this game.

On the other side of things, the 76ers struggle offensively for the first-time in this series and they never seemed comfortable in Game 4.

Now, heading back home for Game 5, the Philadelphia 76ers will look to close out this first-round series in front of their home fans.

Can the Sixers punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the fourth-time in the last five years?
