Wait...Embiid and Maxey weren't playing?!
24. This is the 76ers new franchise record for three pointers in a single game. The record was set yesterday. But here's the catch. Neither Embiid, nor Maxey was playing. Pause.
The 76ers slump without Embiid has been disastrous. Winning a game, let alone setting a record without Maxey, seemed impossible. But Kelly Oubre, as he has done, put this team on his back and just carried them. The Raptors never led as the Sixers earned an 135-120 dub. Six 76ers got into the double figures. Oubre nailed six threes and scored 32. Kyle Lowry earned a double double with 10 assists and 11 points. Cam Payne had 24, Tobias Harris, 21. Buddy Hield had 13 and Nico Batum had 19. Just a great offensive effort from Philly in Toronto. It got close in the third quarter as the Raptors started to climb back, but the Sixers never wavered.

It was a great game, and it pushed the record to five games over .500. It'll take a miracle to earn back that #6 spot, but every little win counts.
