"Both teams came out guns blazing, and it looked like this was going to be a high-scoring night on both sides. Brandon Ingram hitting middies off iverson cuts, Immanuel Quickley cashing transition threes, which would be followed by Paul George knocking down threes, and Tyrese Maxey using his absurd speed to get floaters to drop in the lane. Philly began to pull away a bit, led by Maxey."
"Philadelphia's offense just had total control of this game at this point. In the second quarter they were shooting 82 percent from the field, 78.6 percent from three and 100% or 11/11 from the free throw line. On some nights in the NBA things just go right for your opponent, and last night was one of those nights for Toronto."
Both teams started hot with multiple scorers, including Brandon Ingram, Immanuel Quickley, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. Maxey used Embiid screens and his speed to create deep threes, floaters, and an and-one after Alijah Martin was beaten on a downhill cut. Philadelphia went on a 13-3 run as its full starting lineup heated up, and the lead crossed double digits before expanding to 17 late in the first. The 76ers shot exceptionally in the second quarter (82% FG, 78.6% 3PT, 11/11 FT). Toronto showed second-half resilience, but a 30-point cushion proved too large to erase.
