I wish the Raptors could play the Sixers more often. Even with them struggling to find an answer for Joel Embiid due to the injury to Jonas Valanciunas, the Raptors just own the Sixers in so many other ways. Kawhi Leonard owns Ben Simmons. Danny Green clamps Jimmy Butler, the Raptors long, active perimeter defenders prey on the Sixers overly ambitious passing. Plus, Kyle Lowry always gets up for games in his hometown Philadelphia. Tonight, everything fell into place in the Raptors vs. Sixers matchup. Joel Embiid dominated, recording 37 points, but it didn’t matter, as the Raptors led comfortably for most of the game to earn a 119-107 win.
