Toronto Raptors star guard DeMar DeRozan didn’t hold back against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight in the Raptors’ 123-114 win on Wednesday night.

DeRozan poured in 31 points on 11-18 shooting from the field and 9-11 from the free throw line to give him his 13th game of the 2016-2017 season with 30 or more points. This game featured one big highlight from DeRozan as well.

In the late stages of the 2nd quarter with the Raptors leading 54-52, DeRozan threw down a mean slam dunk right in Jahlil Okafor‘s grill:

The Raptors are now 18-7 on the season following their fourth consecutive win on the season, and now trail the Cavaliers by a half game for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.

DeRozan’s scoring average per game will also rise, as he currently ranks 5th in the NBA in points per game behind only James Harden, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook.
