HT PHIL 67 TOR 52

Different day, different script, same blowout.

It's not Electric Maxey tonight (11 pts), not James (14 pts) and his passing (4), not turnover-less ball (6), it's not even field shooting although Philly is doing that superbly again (55.9% (53.3%). It's Joel (19) and free throw shooting: Joel is 11/12, James 7/7. If it's not one thing it's another with this team. They can beat you so many ways. And this is not a bad Tonto team. I do think they overachieved in the regular season but you are what your record says you are and the "Raptors" were 48-34 in the regular season; Philly just three games better, 51-31. But these two playoff games...Man. A 20-point win in the first one and now this playing a completely different game. Maybe things will change when they go up North but the Artist has hardly played tonight (5'), only played 19' the first game, and still both blowouts. Eastern Conference, Western Conference, beware the Philadelphia 76'ers.
