Joel Embiid gets a hilarious reaction from Kyle Lowry after a hard hit
When he is fully healthy, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is arguably the most dominant player in the NBA. His combination of size and agility makes him nearly impossible to stop.
The Toronto Raptors have it figured out on Monday.
In the second quarter at Scotiabank Arena, Embiid drove to the lane before hitting a hard dunk. The bench of the 76ers was pumped up with a top game, with a guard Kyle Lowry providing the best response.
We’re not really sure what’s going on there. Does it mention anything?
Lowry, who won a championship with the Raptors, has always been a character, and it’s nice to see him still enjoying the game despite not getting any minutes.
When the smoke cleared, the 76ers beat the Raptors, 115-102, on the other end of their back-to-back. Philadelphia avenged a one-point overtime loss, 116-115, to Toronto on Sunday.
The Sixers have now won six of their last eight assignments.
Embiid had 27 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals, although he also had seven turnovers. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 33 points, including 6-of-9 3-pointers.
Paul George and VJ Edgecombe combined for 30 points, six rebounds and 14 assists.
The Sixers have had a rough start to the seasonwith Embiid, Maxey, George, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jared McCain all missing time. An inconsistent roster made it difficult for coach Nick Nurse to build a rhythm.
Now that the lineup is back at full strength, the 76ers have begun to thrive. Plus, with bench guys like Lowry showing their support, team chemistry doesn’t seem to be an issue at all.
