Raptors Beat 76ers In Double Overtime

TORONTO (AP) -- DeMar DeRozan scored the winning basket with 35 seconds to play and the Toronto Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 119-116 in double overtime in exhibition play Wednesday night.

DeRozan, who missed a potential winning free throw at the end of the first overtime, converted a hook shot and Amir Johnson added a dunk to help the Raptors (2-2) snap a two-game losing streak.

Philadelphia's Louis Williams had a 3-pointer rim out in the final seconds as the 76ers lost for the fourth time in five preseason games.

Jarrett Jack led Toronto with 24 points, Leandro Barbosa had 19, DeRozan 16, and Andrea Bargnani 14.

Jrue Holiday had a triple-double for Philadelphia, finishing with 18 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds.

Rookie Craig Brackins scored 15 points for the 76ers, Evan Turner added 13 points and 12 rebounds, Elton Brand and Jodie Meeks each had 12 points, and Williams finished with 10.

Toronto led 95-90 on a jump shot by Jose Calderon with 3:01 left in regulation, but Philadelphia tied it at 96-all on a dunk by Brackins with 1:24 left.

An errant pass by Jose Calderon gave the 76ers one last shot with 5.5 seconds left but Holiday's 3-pointer came up short, sending the game to overtime.

Bargnani scored on Toronto's first two possessions of the first extra session but missed two from the line before the Sixers rallied. Holiday hit a jumper with 49 seconds left to give Philadelphia a 103-102 lead, its first since the third quarter.

Jack and Meeks traded 3-pointers before former Raptors guard Jason Kapono fouled out with 1.8 seconds left, sending DeRozan to the line. He made the first but missed the second and Bargnani was unable to put back the rebound, sending it to double overtime tied at 106-106.

A driving layup by Williams made it 116-115 with 1:25 left before DeRozan's hook shot in the paint gave Toronto the lead for good.

Bargnani, the top pick in the 2006 draft, came in 5 for 26 from the field in Toronto's first three preseason games. He struggled again in this one, shooting 6 for 22.

Raptors forward Linas Kleiza returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday's loss at Chicago with a sore right Achilles' tendon and scored six points in 17 minutes.
Sixers forward Marreese Speights left with 4.6 seconds remaining in the third with an injured right hamstring. He walked gingerly to the locker room with the help of a team trainer and did not return.

Toronto closed the first half with a 9-2 run but trailed 50-48 at the break.

Philadelphia shot just 7 for 24 in the third as the Raptors outscored the 76ers 26-17 to take a 74-67 lead into the fourth.
