Daily News | Sixers vow to be ‘locked in’ for Game 2 against the Raptors
The 76ers know now is not the time to be overconfident — even though it’s easy to do so under the circumstances.
They’ve lost three of this season’s four regular-season games against Toronto. The Raptors were without both All-Star point guard Fred VanVleet and small forward OG Anunoby in two of those setbacks. The Sixers have to know this is the perfect opportunity to take a comfortable series lead. The 2-0 advantage would be welcome heading to Toronto for Games 3 and 4 without their best perimeter defender, Matisse Thybulle, because he is unvaccinated for COVID-19 and ineligible to play in Canada.
Trent finished with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting in Game 1. He was minus-23 in 27 minutes. Barnes had 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in 32 minutes, while Young grabbed a rebound in his six minutes of action.
