This season's ranking in the East can be described as changeable, especially the top five teams, which have become a pot of porridge. However, as the regular season schedule draws to a close, the Miami Heat have once again secured the throne of the Eastern Conference, and the Philadelphia 76ers, who sit on the Ma Daha combination, have also returned to the fourth position in the East. Harden has not been able to continue to show tough scoring ability in recent times, but he has played the style of the former assist king, constantly combing the team's offense on the court.
In this game, the Philadelphia 76ers came to Toronto again to challenge the Raptors on the road. In the blink of an eye, this season's regular season showdown has come to an end, and the Raptors have once again played the style of the former championship team in the final sprint stage, coming to the fifth position in the East. Even though the Raptors have little of an advantage in terms of the team's reserves of top-paid players, the Philadelphia 76ers are clearly not so easy to win the game. Before the game began, the Raptors held a championship ring award ceremony for Danny Green, and got the championship ring from the Raptors era.
In the first quarter of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers, who played away, took the lead in the form and achieved the initiative to lead the score. Embiid played the first quarter for 12 minutes, sending 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, and Harden also had 5 points and 6 assists to help the team play a 33-26 score and get a 7-point lead. However, after entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Raptors, who were in a backward state, could also make a strong counterattack. Even though Siakam, who delivered 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, failed to continue to threaten, the team's Trent and Achuva were able to play in succession.
After the 30-27 score in the second quarter, the Raptors were able to chase back the three points behind in the first quarter, and the first half of the game was over, and the Philadelphia 76ers only led the Raptors by 4 points. The point difference between the two teams has been narrowed, and the Raptors still have a good chance to achieve a final reversal. Easy to fight again, the Raptors who have achieved good results in chasing points can indeed follow the trend and achieve a rebound in the score. In the third quarter, Siakam showed off the strength of his stadium commander. Playing for 12 minutes, with an efficient output of 7 of 10 shots, he delivered 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the team to a 31-25 score.
By the time they reached the crucial final-quarter game, the Raptors had recovered the score they had fallen behind and achieved a 2-point comeback. In the fourth quarter of the decider, the Raptors can always cling to the lead and do not let go, Danny Green showed his 3D player attributes, three points, 2 shots, 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist data did not work, or let the opponent play a 32-29 score, and won the game with an aggregate score of 119-114. The Philadelphia 76ers' three-game winning streak was ended, and the Raptors played the style of the former championship team.
Siakam played 37 minutes in a single game, with an efficient output of 14 of 28 shots, a game-high score of 37 points, and 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Not to be outdone, Trent Jr. also had a 30-point contribution, as well as Achuva, who handed over 20 points. In the face of the Raptors' side of the starters sent explosive data one after another, the Philadelphia 76ers are ultimately powerless to return to the sky. But in fact, both Embiid and Harden have shown their worth. Among them, Embiid handed over a double-double of 30 points and 10 rebounds, playing the strength of his team leader.
At the same time, Harden's performance of 3 of 12 shots is indeed slightly chicken, but he once again showed the style of the assist king, sending 13 points and 15 assists. To be sure, although the Philadelphia 76ers lost the game, Danny Green proved his worth in this game: 6 of 7 three-pointers in a single game, delivered a key 18 points, as well as 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and helped the team win the opponent's key 13 points in nearly 39 minutes. For a long time, Green's shooting feel has been very bad, and this outbreak has undoubtedly added some confidence to Philadelphia's next road to the championship.
