No Joel Embiid. No problem.
Tyrese Maxey continued his mastery over the Toronto Raptors as he exploded for a career-high 44 points in a 112-90 victory over Toronto. The Philadelphia 76ers’ electric 3rd-year guard shot a perfect 10-for-10 in the first half, including 7 threes, leading to 27 points.
Before the game, Nick Nurse spoke highly of how his Raptors had played over the first five games. He pointed out that — other than the first half against Miami last Saturday — Toronto had played 9 out of 10 solid halves of basketball.
