[Reporter Wu Mengru/Comprehensive Report] LeBron James rested due to lower back pain, and the 76ers relied on Tyrese Maxey's 27 points to lead the team. The "Big Three" jointly scored 65 points, overcoming a maximum 17-point deficit in the game, and finally reversed the Raptors 123:112.
The Sixers started the season with a good record of 8 wins and 1 loss, but their recent performance has been shaky, with only 1 win in the past 3 games. In the previous game against the Celtics, their defense collapsed and they were defeated 101:123 by their opponents who made 22 three-pointers.
Although the Raptors were missing their first brother, Leonard, they started the game today with a more aggressive offensive. The team shot 50% from the field and led 33:24. However, in the second quarter, the 76ers, led by J. Brown's 10 points, scored points in 8-man rotation. They launched a 36:27 counterattack and tied the game at 60 points at the end of the first half.
Entering the third quarter, RJ Barrett scored 11 points alone, but his teammates scored sporadicly. Everyone in the Sixers could score. Maxey and Joel Embiid each had 9 points. The offensive of 36:27 in a single quarter widened the point difference. The Sixers maintained a lead of at least 10 points in the fourth quarter. In the last 2 minutes, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's bomb three-pointer and Embiid's mid-range shot hit the opponent hard, laying the foundation for victory in one fell swoop.
Maxey had the best 27 points and 8 assists, Embiid scored 20 points and 4 rebounds, J. Brown scored 18 points and 6 rebounds, substitute Anfernee Simons scored 17 points, and VJ Edgecombe scored 15 points. Six Sixers scored in double figures, and the substitutes scored 11 points more than their opponents, which became the key to victory. Barrett had his best performance of the season, scoring 31 points and 14 rebounds in a single game. Immanuel Quickley contributed 26 points, and the Raptors lost their third consecutive game.
