Scottie Barnes led the Toronto Raptors to a 106-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, ending a four-game losing streak.

Barnes assisted Ochai Agbaji on a layup with 1:32 remaining, securing the lead for the Raptors.

Jared Butler contributed 15 points off the bench, and Paul George added 12. Tyrese Maxey struggled, scoring just five points on 1-for-9 shooting, including 1-for-7 from three-point range. The 76ers finished the game shooting a dismal 9 for 38 (23.7 percent) from beyond the arc.Prior to the game, the Raptors signed Brandon Ingram to a three-year, $120 million extension. Ingram, acquired from New Orleans last week, has been sidelined since December 7th due to an ankle injury.

Embiid shot 4 for 13 in the second half and 2 for 6 in the fourth quarter. With the 76ers down two and 8.1 seconds left, he committed a turnover, allowing Dick to sink a free throw for the final margin.In a game marked by poor shooting, the Raptors managed to hit 3 of their 9 three-point attempts in the fourth quarter, proving enough to secure the victory
