LAS VEGAS (Agencies): Joel Embiid finished with 33 points as the Philadelphia 76ers routed the Toronto Raptors 116-95 on Thursday to seize a 2-1 lead in their NBA second-round playoff series.
Embiid also had 10 rebounds and five blocked shots for his 12th double-double in 15 career playoff games. “I was trying not to force anything and if I didn’t have it I just moved it to my teammates,” he said. “We wanted to put our foot down in the fourth and we did that by making stops.”
Jimmy Butler added 22 points, nine assists and nine rebounds while JJ Redick delivered 15 points for the Sixers, who have won two straight including a gritty 94-89 victory in game two three nights ago. Game four will be played in Philadelphia on Sunday. Kawhi Leonard paced the Raptors’ attack with 33 points while Pascal Siakam added 20.
