Serge Ibaka hit a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left in the second overtime, and the Toronto Raptors survived to earn their fifth straight win, 140-138 over the Washington Wizards on Sunday in Washington.

The Raptors blew a 23-point lead but outlasted the stubborn Wizards, who never led until early in the second extra period.

Leonard had 13 straight points in the fourth quarter and overtime.

76ERS 108, KNICKS 105: Ben Simmons fell an assist short of a triple-double with 20 points and 22 rebounds, Joel Embiid scored 26 points and Philadelph­ia escaped with a victory over New York. The Knicks’ Emmanuel Mudiay missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have sent the game into overtime.

WARRIORS 119, MAVERICKS 114: Stephen Curry scored 48 points, making 11 3-pointers, and Golden State held off Dallas.
