The East starting guard had a heat check in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 of his 21 points in the final frame to take the Raptors to a 91-86 come-from-behind win over the Sixers. The former Villanova star entered the building he once called home and struggled, going 2-for-9 from the field going into the fourth, but scored every point of a 13-4 3-minute Toronto run to lead them back from an 8-point deficit. In Dallas, Jimmy Butler scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half to give the Bulls a big win over the Mavericks.
