With the series down to 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Toronto, the Sixers left many fans uneasy as a loss on Thursday night would force a Game 7.
As expected, the Raptors weren’t looking to go down without a fight at first.
Although the Raptors outscored the 76ers in the second quarter, Philly still had a one-point lead going into the half.
As he knocked down four of his six shots, with three of his attempts coming from beyond the arc, Maxey collected 15 of the Sixers’ 37 third-quarter points.
While no lead is safe in the NBA Playoffs, the Sixers did all they could to secure their spot out in front.
Meanwhile, Maxey and Harden thrived and combined for 47 points on the offensive end as the Sixers cruised past Toronto and put the Raptors away for good.
