Two weeks back, Embiid had his first ever zero point game in the first time of his career in the NBA. Both franchises played each again this night and this time around the superstar of Philadelphia carried the day 110-104.
Embiid scores 10 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and had 6 assists in 30 minutes. Philadelphia were more collective as four of their five starters score at 10 points in the match. Philadelphia’s bench was equally very helpful. The Raptors who have been in good form recently could not keep the pace of the match.
Pascal Siakam, their star player since the departure of Kawhi Leonard, in 36 minutes scored 16 points had 7 rebounds and made 2 assists. However, last year’s Most Improved Player of the year did not score any of his 4 three-point attempts a domain in which he really progressed in this season.
Siakam three-point percentage is above 40%. Philadelphia’s record after last night’s victory is 17 victories and 7 defeats while Toronto Raptors have 15 victories and 7 defeats.
