"Tonight's game had a perfect start. Yes, the Raptors hit their shots (Quickley hit 3 quick triples) and Scottie Barnes battled well against Joel Embiid (Ochai Agbaji started in place of the injured Jakob Poeltl), but I mean more so that the 76ers were clad in their Iverson era black jerseys and with the matching court to boot. Great stuff."
"Philly did a fairly good job of getting Tyrese Maxey the ball - as they should, he's the NBA's leading scorer - which kept their offense humming, but the Raptors had a string of 2 Shead threes followed by 1 from Barrett, and it allowed them to charge ahead. While subbing Sandro Mamukelashvili in meant Maxey had some bigger feet to attack, it also meant the Raptors were able to ping the ball around the floor more effectively on offense."
The Raptors opened the game strongly with Accurate perimeter shooting and Quickley hitting three quick triples while Scottie Barnes battled Joel Embiid. Ochai Agbaji started for the injured Jakob Poeltl. The 76ers matched pace early, outscoring Toronto 17-15 in the opening surge, with Trendon Watford scoring seven points and grabbing two offensive rebounds. Philadelphia fed Tyrese Maxey consistently to keep their offense humming. The Raptors countered with multiple made threes from the bench and better ball movement after Sandro Mamukelashvili entered, with ten of their first eleven buckets assisted and the bench extending the lead by quarter end.
