Raptors 120, 76ers 88: DeMar DeRozan poured in 24 points to lead six players in double figures as host Toronto extended the best start in franchise history with a convincing win over Philadelphia.

Terrence Ross scored 17 points, Louis Williams added 16 off the bench and Kyle Lowry scored 14 for the Raptors, who have won five straight against the 76ers for the first time. Greivis Vasquez contributed 13 points and six assists in a reserve role and Jonas Valanciunas scored 12 as Toronto improved to 4-0 at home for the first time since winning its first five home games in the 2003-04 season.

Tony Wroten scored 18 points and Chris Johnson added 16 off the bench for the 76ers, who are the last remaining winless team in the Eastern Conference at 0-7. Alexey Shved scored 14 off the bench and Henry Sims had 12 and a team-best eight rebounds.

Philadelphia scored the first bucket of the night but never led again, as the Raptors shot 68.8 percent in the first quarter and closed the period with an 11-2 run to open a 33-20 advantage. The 76ers showed signs of life with back-to-back 3-pointers from Johnson in the final minute of the half, but Lowry drove for a layup just before the buzzer to send the Raptors to the break with a 60-45 lead.

The 76ers didn't make a field goal for more than six minutes to start the second half, by which point the lead had grown to 73-50, and Toronto extended the margin to 25 heading into the final period. The lead was as large as 41 in the fourth quarter as the Raptors flirted with the franchise-record margin of 42 points set against Miami in 2008.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The 32-point margin of victory for the Raptors is tied for the ninth-largest in franchise history. … Toronto has won 31 consecutive games when leading after three quarters. … Philadelphia's start is its worst since the 1972-73 team lost a franchise-record 15 straight to start the season.
