Details and Personal Analysis
I think that playing without Leonard and Ibaka took a toll on the Raptors who lacked a decisive leader in the scoring as Leonard does along with the contribution of Ibaka, the meeting was closed during the first 3 quarters but in the last period the advantage was extended by the good offensive performance of the 76ers who obtained a solid victory.
