Philadelphia 76ers: Slowing down Pascal Siakam key to series victory

The game two win revealed a winning formula for the Philadelphia 76ers beating the Toronto Raptors. Jimmy Butler became “Jimmy Buckets” in the fourth quarter helping the Sixers seal the deal and Greg Monroe thriving as the reserve center are important aspect to the win, but the biggest key to Philly’s game two win was making life tough for Pascal Siakam.

Head coach Brett Brown made a big change in his defensive scheme in switching Joel Embiid, or his backup Monroe, onto the third year power forward as primary defenders.
