Donyell Marshall tied an NBA record by sinking 12 3-pointers and the Raptors finished with a league-record 21 in their 128-110 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night in Toronto.
Marshall was 12 for 19 from behind the arc and finished with a career-high 38 points to help the Raptors set a franchise record for points.
The Raptors, 21 for 34 from 3-point range, broke the NBA mark of 19 3-pointers set by Atlanta against Dallas Dec. 17, 1996.
The 76ers repeatedly left Marshall open in the corner as Marshall fell one short of breaking the record set by the Lakers' Kobe Bryant against Seattle Jan. 7, 2003. The 11-year veteran tried to surpass Bryant's record in the final three minutes, but one attempt rimmed out and he clanged another.
Marshall left to a standing ovation with 17.5 seconds left.
Allen Iverson had 32 points for the 76ers.
Pistons 64, Jazz 62 -- Richard Hamilton scored 15 points and host Detroit overcame 0-for-15 field goal shooting in the fourth quarter to beat Utah. The Pistons made just six free throws in the final period, and Ben Wallace blocked a shot by Andrei Kirilenko in the final seconds to help secure the Pistons' ninth straight home victory.
The teams combined for a league-record low of 18 points in the fourth quarter, edging the 19 Miami and Toronto combined to score Feb. 2, 2004.
The teams' 126 total points ranks as the sixth-lowest-scoring game in NBA history. The league low for combined scoring is 119 points by Boston (62) and Milwaukee (57) Feb. 27, 1955.
