After a convincing Game 3 victory, the Philadelphia 76ers had a chance to put Toronto in a 3-1 hole. It went south, with the Raptors winning 101-96 behind Kawhi Leonard‘s fourth consecutive 30+ point game. Now the series shifts back to Toronto in a 2-2 tie.
The Sixers were close throughout, despite Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons struggling. The Raptors even got stronger performances from Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka. The fact that it was still close is a testament to Philadelphia’s talent level and resilience.
