Daily News | Raptors beat Sixers, 110-102, to force a Game 5 and fend off sweep in first-round playoff series | Analysis
TORONTO — Joel Embiid stood at the free-throw line, hands on knees and hunched over, preparing to take a pair of ultimately meaningless free throws. He then shook his hand as the first shot dropped through the net, a sign of the clear pain he will need to fight through in at least one more game against these Toronto Raptors.
The Sixers’ next chance to wrap up the series comes in Monday night’s Game 5 at the Wells Fargo Center. He went 0-of-5 from the floor in the first quarter and did not score until a jumper about midway through the second frame. And even when he got rolling just before halftime — he hit a hook shot in the lane and converted an and-1 through contact — he ended up grabbing his hand in pain multiple times after missing at the basket twice in the final minute.
Toronto outrebounded the Sixers 25-18 before the break, including 8-4 on the offensive glass to yield 12 second-chance points .
