The 76ers and Raptors series took a turn in game 4. The Sixers were leading 3-0 in the series, though after a tough fought match, Raptors came out victorious. In game 4, Philly did not do a great job on the offense. Players were slow and so was the ball movement.

The Raptors were playing with injured players as well. Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes were both injured, though Barnes still managed to play. The game didn’t seem on the Sixers’ side, as players were upset with the referees after the game. Embiid even mocked the refs after the game.

Joel Embiid was fined for giving the refs a round of applause

The Raptors had a great momentum all game long. Though the Sixers’ offense wasn’t connecting so well. Embiid and Harden were upset with quite a few calls during the game, but luckily were not given a technical after their frustration. After the game, Embiid clapped for the refs as he was going into the locker room. His behavior was not neglected, as he was fined $15,000. NBA Twitter recalled all the exchanges that happened during the game.

The Sixers now have a great chance to close out the series at home in game 5. Toronto might miss their starter, as Fred VanVleet is questionable for game 5. Not only that but playing an away game, with Siakam and Gary Trent as their primary scorers might be risky for the Raps. It will be interesting to see if Toronto can force game 6 and try to come back in the series.
