On April 26, Beijing time, the Raptors and the 76ers played the fifth meeting of the first round of the series, and the Raptors continued to maintain their tenacious momentum and desire to win, and finally defeated the 76ers 103:88 away from home in the series, thus smoothly chasing the series score to 2:3. In this game, Siakam scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and achieved a plus or minus of +24 best games, and in the case of VanVleet's injury and absence from the playoffs, Siakam finally led the team to win the playoffs.
Previously, when the 76ers achieved a 3-0 score in the series, they once thought that the Raptors' playoffs had officially ended, but they did not think that the Raptors had won 2 consecutive games after that, and now this series has been dragged to the 6th game. Imagine if in the next series G6, when the Raptors can still beat the 76ers to win the game, I am afraid that the final series of seven vs 76ers will not be able to compete against the Raptors.
NBA star Barkley is now also predicting about this series, to which Barkley said: "The 76ers will not have a chance to win the next game, this is a series that will be played to grab the 7. Obviously, Barkley is undoubtedly optimistic that the Raptors will finally win the G6, so that the Raptors and the 76ers can finally stage a game of seven. Of course, at present, the Possibility of the Raptors winning the series G6 is undoubtedly greater, after all, G6 is the home of the Raptors, which will obviously be a very important advantage factor.
In addition, there are various problems on the 76ers side, the first is the injury problem of the team leader Embiid, who is known to be currently suffering from a torn ligament in the right thumb, and now he is forced to play in the NBA playoffs with an injury, which will undoubtedly affect Embiid's court status and data performance to some extent.
As for Harden, the second star who traded to join the 76ers this season, Harden's NBA playoff first-round average data so far is 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists, shooting only 37.3%, and considering that Harden is often prone to crotch performance in key playoff games, it is basically difficult for the 76ers to expect Harden to stand out at G6. Finally, there is the 76ers head coach Rivers, as a recognized "human being reversed essence", Rivers' team will always be defeated by opponents in the NBA playoffs, and this is what makes fans worry more about the current 76ers!
