The Toronto Raptors avoided elimination on Saturday by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 110-102. While they still face a big 3-1 deficit in this series, the Raptors now have a little momentum heading into Game 5.
In Game 4 on Saturday, the Raptors’ defense finally stepped up, holding the 76ers to a series-low 102 total points and they finally found a way to limit Tyrese Maxey, as the second-year guard that had been destroying Toronto only went for 11 points on 4-12 shooting.
For the Raptors, Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. stepped up with a combined 58 points in the win and they truly were the only two means of offense for Toronto in this game.
