<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Raptors can breathe again .... and rookie Jamario Moon has earned his first stripes.</p> The night began with the Raptors shuffling their starting lineup, looking to get out of a three-game funk and a shooting slump that seemed to be affecting everyone in a Toronto jersey. There also was the indifferent defence of the past two games to worry about.</p> But following a 105-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, much of the trouble spots seem to be working themselves out.</p> Gone were the sorry starts of the past three games. Back was the energy on defence, and probably most important of all for a team that lives and dies with its shooters, gone was the collective inability to put the ball through the hoop.</p> "Sometimes you need games like this to get out of those ruts," Raps shooting guard Anthony Parker said. "Offensively we did well. Defensively we can do better, but we still did a good job to force them into some tough shots. You can live with those kind of things, but I'm just happy to go into Chicago (tonight, 8:30 p.m.) with a win."</div></p> The Toronto Sun</p>
