On April 19, Beijing time, the 76ers beat the Raptors 112-97 at home, leading 2-0. According to statistics, in the first two games of the series, the sum of the plus-minus of the 76ers starting five Tigers is as high as +166. Among them, Maxi has a total of +42 plus-minus in 2 games, ranking first in the team, Harris plus-minus +40, Harden +31, Danny Green +30, Embiid +23.
I have to say that this set of starts really made the Raptors suffer a lot. Perhaps considering that Sable could not play in toronto's away game due to vaccine problems, Rivers had already made adjustments to the starting lineup, replacing Sable with veteran Danny Green, which also avoided the team's starting change in the series.
Green performed very qualified, scoring 11 points in this game, hitting three points in addition to staging a dunk in the final quarter, quite a feeling of grandfather. He surpassed Fisher in three-point shooting and rose to 11th in playoff history. The 21-year-old Maxi was even more of a surprise, after 38 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first game, he scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the second game, and the two games combined 61 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.
The data shows that in the history of the NBA, only 5 players aged 21 or under can have at least 60 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in any two consecutive playoff games, in addition to Maxi, but also Doncic, James, Maddy and Magic, the young Maxi has been compared to the four superstars!
76ers coach Rivers also achieved a milestone in today's game, with his 100th win in the playoffs, and the number of wins is currently fourth in history, tied with Larry Brown.
