PHILADELPHIA -- With his 76ers taking a 2-1 series lead over a Toronto Raptors team led by Kawhi Leonard and his 37.7 points per game average in the Eastern Conference semifinals so far, coach Brett Brown was asked a simple question.
When Joel Embiid is healthy, does Brown believe he has the best player in the series on his side?
Brown, taking a swig of water as the question was asked, put down the bottle to answer. "Yes," Brown replied, letting a smile escape from the corners of his mouth.
