Embiid hits winning 3 in OT, 76ers beat Raptors for 3-0 lead

Associated Press  

TORONTO — After pushing the Toronto Raptors to the brink of elimination, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid pledged to finish the job as quickly as possible. “We’ve got to get one more.” Embiid’s shot came from near the spot where he missed a 3 at the end of regulation that could have won the game for the 76ers. “For him, that’s a high-percentage shot, especially on that wing,” Harris said of Embiid’s decisive basket. “I think I’m more focused on trying to win the whole thing.” Embiid had 33 points and 13 rebounds, helping the 76ers rally from a 17-point deficit. “When we got it, we didn’t keep it, but we won so it’s all good.” Anunoby’s 3 briefly put Toronto back on top, but Embiid’s basket with 2:36 left made it 101-100 for the Sixers.
