The Philadelphia 76ers took care of business at home in Game one of the 2022 NBA playoffs. They defeated a scary Toronto Raptors group in exhilarating fashion, winning 131-111 to take a 1-0 series lead. Tyrese Maxey went nuclear in the third quarter. As our Paul Hudrick wrote “the 21-year-old’s 21-point third quarter thwarted any thought of a Toronto comeback and was a nice coming out party to those unfamiliar with the Kentucky product.”
But after the game, Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was focused on the way the game was officiated.
