PHILADELPHIA—Every now and then, you’ve got to let a guy do what a guy does. DeRozan poured in a career-high 45 points — including a personal-best six three-pointers — as the Raptors overcame a brutal start to wipe out a 22-point third-quarter deficit and subdue the Philadelphia 76ers 114-109 at the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night. We’re going to have a lot of nights where you face adversity and that grit is what’s going to have to come through. He took only 21 shots, was 13-for-15 from the free-throw line and scored 13 points in the final eight minutes. “That has been my career the last few years, being able to get to the free-throw line and being able to close out the game,” DeRozan said.
