As far as wild finishes go, Wednesday’s game might take the cake.
Joel Embiid’s three with 0.8 seconds left in overtime — with James Harden fouled out — gave the Sixers a 104-101 win over the Raptors at ScotiaBank Arena. The Sixers now take a commanding 3-0 series lead with a chance to end Toronto’s season on Saturday afternoon.
A buzzer-beating shot in Toronto in the postseason? How serendipitous. Demons exorcized.
