After losing three of their last five outings, the Philadelphia 76ers got back to the winning column on Saturday after besting the Toronto Raptors at home, 130-120. They now improve their win-loss card to 6-3, and really, they have Trendon Watford to thank for in this particular outing.
Getting slotted into the starting lineup next to Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe, and Kelly Oubre Jr., Watford came out and did not disappoint, racking up 20 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists to finish the night with his first triple-double ever. The newcomer, in just his fifth game back from injury, basically did everything on the floor, spearheading the team’s winning rally.
