The race for the loose ball about midway through the fourth quarter wound up in Tyrese Maxey’s grasp. Maxey stopped at the left wing, wide open, and fired away from beyond the arc.What appeared to be another 76ers onslaught in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series briefly turned dicey, before the Sixers closed out a 112-97 victory Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
Just after halftime, the Sixers stretched their lead to 20 points on a Tobias Harris three-pointer with less than nine minutes to play. That advantage grew to 87-60 when Joel Embiid spun in the corner and drilled a three-pointer with less than four minutes to play in the period. And it reached 27 points again when Maxey hit a step-back three in the frame’s final minute.

Embiid totaled 19 points, including 11-of-12 from the free-throw line, while Toronto point guard Fred VanVleet scored 15 points on 4-of-6 from three-point distance.After the first quarter back and forth between Embiid and VanVleet, the Sixers created double-digit distance with Embiid on the bench.
