With a lot of momentum heading into Game Two, Philadelphia will look to take an early lead in the series.
Toronto has proven to be a tenacious bunch. But with a few key players potentially missing the game, they find themselves in a precarious position.
Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors were blown out in Game One of the first-round of the playoffs. Having made a solid rise through the East to make a playoff appearance, however, Toronto has shown itself to be a firm side.
Many things went wrong for Toronto in their previous game. While Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. being injured are major hits the Raptors have taken, losing Thaddeus Young early in the game will also affect the side.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers enjoyed a solid performance to secure an early lead in the first-round series. With a blowout win in the books, the 76ers also saw Tyrese Maxey showcase his talents and potential on the big stage.
Recording 38 points on the night, Maxey made 76ers history in his playoff debut. However, Maxey was not the only highlight of the night.
James Harden ran the offense to perfection as he notched 22 points and 14 assists for the night. Shooting a highly efficient 4-7 from beyond the arc, the 76ers were clicking at the right time.
