Three players combine for 97 points as 76ers beat Raptors

Joel Embiid battled through an ankle injury, extending his 30-10 streak to 13 games with 31 points and 10 rebounds, leading the Philadelphia 76ers (20-8) to a 121-111 triumph over the Toronto Raptors (11-17) on Friday night.

Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey matched Embiid’s scoring prowess with 33 points each, marking the second time in franchise history that three players surpassed 30 points in a game—a milestone previously achieved in 1961 by Barnett, Greer, and Schayes for the Syracuse Nationals.

Pascal Siakam led Toronto with 31 points, supported by Jakob Poeltl’s 19.

Despite Toronto’s 15-point first-quarter lead, the Sixers gradually chipped away.

Philadelphia navigated the game without key contributors Nicolas Batum, Patrick Beverley, and DeAnthony Melton, sidelined due to injury concerns.
