Tobias Harris hit a 3-pointer in overtime that put Philadelphia ahead to stay, and Joel Embiid had 28 points, 11 rebounds and four assists as the 76ers extended their winning streak to a season-best five games with a 104-101 win over the struggling Toronto Raptors.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - DECEMBER 19: Tobias Harris #12 of the Philadelphia 76ers reacts after scoring during overtime against the Toronto Raptors at Wells Fargo Center on December 19, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
"He dedicated this summer to being a spot-up shooter, making shots, and he’s doing that," Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said of Harris’ evolution. "You can see he’s worked on improving the quickness of his release." "I wasn’t gonna complain, but that was probably the most ridiculous game I’ve ever been a part of. That’s all I’ll say about that game," Embiid said, indirectly referencing the play. "I’m just glad we got the win. But the way the game was, it was ridiculous."
The Raptors used a 19-1 run, which stretched from late in the third quarter and into the start of the fourth, to erase Philadelphia’s lead, which reached as many as 14 points early in the third. Siakam fueled Toronto’s comeback, scoring 10 of Toronto’s 19 points during the run.
