The Toronto Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 106-105, on Tuesday night. It was the team's fourth consecutive loss and it came a day after owner Josh Harris said he was confident that the team would make a playoff run.
The most shocking part of the defeat came in the final seconds as Joel Embiid passed up a wide-open three that could have given the 76ers the lead. And by wide-open, I mean wide-open. After setting a pick for Tyrese Maxey both defenders went with the All-Star point guard and there wasn't a defender above the free-throw line. In fact, when Embiid caught the ball, the closest Raptor was standing at the bottom of the dotted circle in the lane.
