As expected, Fred VanVleet for a $15,000 for doing the Sam Cassell “big balls” celebration in front of Cassell after hitting a dagger three Thursday night. – 7:07 PM

Tyrese Maxey says he remembers as a kid watching Fred VanVleet at Wichita State and telling his friends VanVleet was going to be “really good.”
Among his takeaways from the matchup tonight: VanVleet’s intelligence and effective changes of pace. – 10:07 PM

The only question I would have had for Fred VanVleet after he went for 32 and 7 and had one big balls dance would have been: “Sam Cassel fan?” – 9:58 PM

VanVleet carried them in the first half and kept ’em in it long enough for OG, Svi, Barnes, Trent and Boucher to each have their big second-half moments. Quality win. – 9:25 PM

FINAL: Raptors 115, Sixers 109. Rough way for Philly to close out this home stand before hitting the road for a season-long six-game road trip. Maxey with 33 and 5 assists. Harris with 19-7-7 in his return from COVID. Trent and FVV with the big 3s to win it for Toronto. – 9:22 PM

Pretty crucial end to the half there. Raps trail by 5. VanVleet and Barnes have been very good. Everyone else: less so. – 8:06 PM

VanVleet scored or assisted on 7 of the Raptors’ 8 first-quarter field goals. He has 15 of the Raps’ 27 points, 3 of their 5 assists, and 3 of their 9 rebounds. He’s shooting 4-for-6, everybody else is 4-for-15. So yeah, he’s doing it all. Sixers by 3 after 1Q. – 7:36 PM
