76ers–Raptors Game 1 will probably be remembered as the Tyrese Maxey game. RohanNadkarni has five thoughts on Philly’s win
Fred VanVleet, who never fouled out during the regular season, fouled out in Game 1. So did Chris Boucher. Siakam had four fouls. Khem Birch had two in eight minutes. This is the bind the Sixers put teams in. Between Harden and Embiid, they make it very difficult for teams to stay out of foul trouble. The Raptors can’t both give up open threes and put Philly at the line. That’s a recipe to lose every night.
He didn’t turn the ball over once despite the Raptors’ attempts to make things chaotic. And defensively, as usual, he shut off the paint in the half court. It was a composed performance from Embiid, who channeled the attention on himself to make life easier for the rest of his team.Toronto arguably lost this game in the minutes Embiid wasn’t on the floor. He sat for a prolonged stretch in the first half—over five minutes—and Toronto made up no ground.
