The Raptors have many disasters and difficulties
After The departure of Cowhi Leonard, the Toronto Raptors embarked on the road to rebuilding, and Lowry left the team in the offseason. Unlike those teams that are in a mess, the Raptors still have the strength to impact the playoffs, with a record of 14 wins and 16 losses, and also rank in the tenth place in the East, only 1.5 wins away from the Eighth Hornets in the East. But who would have thought that the Raptors would be quarantined for as many as seven people because of the health and safety agreement, including VanVleet, Barnes and Anunoby.
In this situation, the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers by 45 points, and now they have a challenge from the Philadelphia 76ers. Although the 76ers have been a bit unsatisfactory this season, currently only in sixth place in the East, with a winning percentage of just over 50%, the team's lineup is still complete, as long as Embiid is present, there are no surprises.
The suspense of the game is stacked
As the team's star, Embiid had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, Harris, although on 1-of-5 shooting, also had 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, the Philadelphia 76ers scored 27 points in a single quarter, while the Raptors, Siakam was even better, with 14 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 6-of-8 shooting, but even so, the team still trailed by 3 points. After returning from the second quarter, Niang on the bench of the 76ers became a surpriser, scoring 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 3-of-3 shooting, helping the team to score another 28 points.
The Raptors' offense remained tepid, scoring 24 points in a single quarter, so at the end of the half, the 76ers took a seven-point lead. In the second half, Embiid shot 4 of 5, 6 of 7 free throws, and shot 15 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the team to 30 points, but the Raptors did not want to show weakness, Boucher had 9 points and 2 rebounds, mikhailuk also scored 7 points, and the team successfully narrowed the point difference to 4 points. In the final quarter of the game, the 76ers maintained a slim lead.
Boucher had 12 points and seven rebounds in the final quarter, and Siakam had six points and one rebound, but in the end he was almost lucky. Trent missed a key three-pointer, missed the opportunity to rebound, the Raptors could only take foul tactics, Harris hit four consecutive free throws, Miha missed the last three-point shot, and finally the Philadelphia 76ers won 114-109 on the road to the Toronto Raptors.
Japanese genius dew filling
Embiid once again dominated the game, and although he only played 34 minutes, he had 36 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists on 11-of-16 shooting, and his personal performance was extremely good. Harris didn't feel good, shooting only 3-of-12, but had a triple-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Curry Jr. had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Niang on the bench also had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, hitting 5 three-pointers, and Cockmaz had 10 points and 3 rebounds. After winning the game, the 76ers won two straight and got back on the winning track.
The Toronto Raptors suffered two straight losses, and although Boucher had a terrifying statistic of 28 points and 19 rebounds, and Siakam also had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, the team eventually lost. Yuta Watanabe, a Japanese genius who played well in the last game, also completely exposed in this game, only 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 6 shots, the data still looks good, but the plus-minus -19 is the lowest in the team, the second is Trent in 24 shots 6, but the plus-minus value is only -10, from here you can see how bad The effect of Watanabe Yuta on the field is, but even so, we are still envious.
