The Sixers fell behind early and couldn't string together nearly enough stops Wednesday night in a 119-109 loss at Scotiabank Arena to the Raptors. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
As the Sixers know from last year’s postseason, Toronto plays many minutes without a traditional center.
The Sixers asked Embiid to hedge on some pick-and-rolls, come up higher than usual on others, and overall do a lot of defending on the perimeter. It frequently left the team appearing vulnerable without a true back-line defender. On his first possession against fellow Cameroonian Koloko, Embiid allowed the rookie to score a rolling layup off of a Fred VanVleet dish. Koloko then had an impressive rejection of an attempted Maxey dunk.
He showed off his strength a bit in the second quarter, too. Though Tucker is the sturdier player at first glance, Siakam was able to grab a defensive rebound, go coast to coast, and displace Tucker with a firm, well-timed shoulder before laying the ball in. The team failed to be disruptive at all in the first half. Toronto had just one turnover before intermission.
