The Philadelphia Sixers lost to the Toronto Raptors 106-103 in their first home game since the Eagles Super Bowl victory. The Sixers were plagued by injuries and struggled offensively, despite strong performances from Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. The Raptors capitalized on the Sixers' miscues, led by Scottie Barnes' 33 points and 10 rebounds.
With a 106-103 defeat to the Raptors, the Sixers fell to 13 games under .500 this season at 20-33. Toronto’s Scottie Barnes had 33 points and 10 rebounds. Immanuel Quickley put up 23 points for the Raptors, who are now 17-37.The Sixers were down Kyle Lowry , Eric Gordon and Jared McCain .
On the ensuing possession, rookie center Jonathan Mogbo stole the ball from Kelly Oubre Jr. and went the other way for a dunk. The Sixers handled the Raptors’ ball pressure poorly on several occasions and allowed Toronto to score the night’s first nine points off turnovers. Following a Quickley and-one runner and Barnes dunk, the Raptors were up 17-4.
Butler played eight straight minutes to start the second quarter and posted eight points, three rebounds and two assists in the period. He’s good at many point guard fundamentals — pushing the pace while maintaining control; keeping his head up in the open floor; driving and kicking the ball out to open teammates.
The Sixers missed some shots they normally hit, too. As a team, they opened 4 for 23 from long distance. He drilled a big shot a little later, however, making a step-back three to even the contest at 103-103.
