NBA: Philadelphia 108, Toronto 101 (OT)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Jrue Holliday tied the game at the end of regulation Friday and then scored all 12 of Philadelphia's overtime points in a 108-101 victory over Toronto.

Holliday equaled his season's best scoring effort with 33 points and handed out 14 assists in a dazzling show that rallied the 76ers from a 17-point halftime deficit.

Philadelphia led only once during the game's first 48 minutes, that coming when the 76ers inched in front 74-73 during the opening moments of the fourth period.

The Raptors took a four-point lead with 8.8 seconds to go in the final quarter on a free throw by Alan Anderson, but Philadelphia got a tip-in with 5.9 seconds remaining from Spencer Hawes and Jose Calderon then turned it over for Toronto.

That gave Holliday a chance to tie the game on a driving layup with a second to play. He then went 4-of-6 during the overtime with one of his field goals being a 3-pointer and he also converted 3-of-4 from the foul line.

All of that brought Philadelphia just its third win in 11 games. Thaddeus Young added 27 points and 14 rebounds for the 76ers.
