Perkins asked on social media, "I find that people really hate Philadelphia, I just want to know why?" ”
However, Perkins's words were obviously confused, and soon the US media Talkin NBA replied to him, bluntly saying, "Maybe it has to do with too many free throws?" ”
The media also posted a comparison of the number of free throws between Philadelphia and the Raptors, and in this game, the Philadelphia team won a total of 30 free throws, and the Raptors only had 12 free throws combined.
Embiid alone won 14 free throws, including only the first quarter, Embiid alone made 11 of 12 free throws in a single quarter, which is comparable to the Raptors' free throw count.
