Daily News | Joel Embiid triumphed in more ways than one with game-winning shot to defeat the Raptors
The MVP candidate buried a turnaround three-pointer with 0.8 seconds to play to lift the 76ers to 104-101 overtime victory in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors.
But one could argue this game erased all those demons, especially that heartbreaking Game 7 playoff loss. Just don’t tell that to Embiid. Toronto has also historically been a tough matchup for Embiid. He’s shot just 42.2% from the field — including 26.8% on three-pointers — in 17 career regular-season games against the Raptors.
