In a crucial overtime game that went down to the wire, MVP candidate Joel Embiid made the difference for the Sixers at the buzzer with a clutch turnaround 3-pointer to give Philadelphia a 3-0 series lead.
With the game tied at 101-101 and 2.6 seconds left on the clock, Danny Green inbounded the ball to Embiid, who popped off a pick and launched a relatively uncontested shot. With only 0.9 seconds left on the shot clock, Embiid drilled it, giving the Raptors no time left to respond.
The Sixers will now have a chance to complete the sweep and advance to the second round on Saturday.
