Nick Nurse gets his first win against his former team
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey were unstoppable on Saturday night, each scoring 34 points as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Toronto Raptors 114-107 to give new coach Nick Nurse his first win against his former team.
Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 18 points and Tobias Harris added 15 as the 76ers won their fourth straight game against the Raptors. Once again Philadelphia played without star guard James Harden as he is hoping to be traded. The 2018 MVP arrived late to training camp and said before the season that his fractured relationship with team president Daryl Morey couldn’t be repaired.
Scottie Barnes scored 24 points, Gary Trent Jr. had 17 and rookie Gradey Dick scored 16 points for the Raptors.
