People might think that the 76ers are the laughing-stock of the NBA, however, the 76ers have more championships than twenty-four current NBA teams. The history is occupied with amazing moments and tremendous players such as Allen Iverson, Julius Erving, and Wilt Chamberlain. The 76ers haven't won a championship since 1983, however, this team has been indestructible in the effort they give every game.

Many calls were not made throughout the game especially near the the fourth quarter. Calls were made against the raptors but not for them. DeRozan was going in for a lay up and was smacked, however no foul was called. This made DeRozan mad and he received a technical foul for questioning the officials. Later, he was ejected with Ibaka and coach Dwane Casey. Raptors lost a lot of players in that game, with Kyle Lowry fouled out within a short amount of time left and Fred Vanfleet with an injury. A lot of rookies were left to hold the team. Delon Wright turned it up but with all the technicals, OKC got a lot of free shots. This was a devastating game for the audience and especially, for the players.

Jevon Carter had 16 points, five assists and five steals. Daxter Miles Jr. and Sagaba Konate each add 14.
