LIVE: Raptors enter hostile territory in crucial Game 3 matchup with 76ers

PHILADELPHIA—It was a hostile environment that awaited the Toronto Raptors when they ventured to the Wells Fargo Center here for Game 3 of their NBA Eastern Conference semifinal with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

There are few arenas louder than Philadelphia’s and few collections of fans more boisterous.

The Raptors – and in particular Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry – knew what was in store for them.

“You know it’s going to be loud, but we have a good team, a veteran team, we know the crowd doesn’t really affect what we do,” Lowry said at the morning shootaround.
