Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid displayed a dominant performance with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists, leading the 76ers to a convincing 114-99 win over the Toronto Raptors in their recent matchup.
Despite limited blocked shots, Embiid’s impact was felt across the court, guiding the 76ers to a resounding victory.
The 76ers’ well-rounded effort was further propelled by Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tobias Harris, each scoring 23 points, along with Tyrese Maxey’s notable contribution of 18 points, solidifying the team’s offensive prowess in the triumph over the Raptors.
In the absence of recently traded James Harden and PJ Tucker, the 76ers faced a thin bench but managed to maintain their momentum, with role players stepping up to deliver crucial plays and extend their lead, ultimately securing the win against the Raptors.
Marcus Morris and Nic Batum, acquired from the Clippers in the trade, did not feature in their first game with the 76ers, while Robert Covington and K.J. Martin made late-game appearances.
On the Raptors’ side, Scottie Barnes led the charge with an impressive 24 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the 76ers’ balanced attack.
