Philadelphia's Effort


Despite falling short in this matchup against Toronto Raptors', Philadelphia showed resilience and competitive spirit throughout each quarter. Joel Embiid led his team with effort on both ends but struggled against Toronto’s defense which limited his impact compared to previous performances.


The Sixers managed to block ten shots over the course of the game but were unable to capitalize on these defensive stops due to turnovers which plagued them throughout; they ended up giving away possession eighteen times compared to Toronto’s eleven turnovers.
