The Philadelphia 76ers take the court once again on Friday, looking to bounce back after yet another loss. When the Sixers tipped off their season last week, they started the year off against some of the Eastern Conference’s top contenders.

In their first matchup, the Sixers faced the Boston Celtics, who put the NBA on notice with a dominant showing out of the gate. When the Sixers returned home to host the Milwaukee Bucks, a failed comeback attempt sent the Sixers into last weekend with an 0-2 record to start off.

Although the San Antonio Spurs seemed like the perfect team for the Sixers to bounce back against and build up their confidence after a slow start, the Sixers were stunned in South Philly and began the year 0-3. Fortunately, the Sixers managed to pick up their first win earlier this week against the Indiana Pacers, but the Toronto Raptors got their sweet revenge on Wednesday night.

Months after getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Sixers, the Raptors controlled Wednesday’s game at Scotiabank Arena from start to finish. Eventually, the Raptors picked up their third win of the year while sending the Sixers back to their hotel with a 1-4 record.

Now, the two teams will meet for a rematch in Toronto on Friday night. The Sixers will look to even the regular season series and avoid picking up a fifth loss in six games to start the season.
