The Philadelphia 76ers managed to avoid embarrassment by a wide margin on Thursday when they blew the Raptors about 132-97 in Game 6 following. a massive 3rd quarter run.
The Raptors’ attempt to come back and win the series after being down 3-0 went totally up in flames, much to the delight of 76ers fans everywhere.
But I ain’t going to lie to y’all. The Sixers fans? They were worried. They were definitely worried. All the makings for disaster were there. Doc Rivers has blown series leads as a coach. James Harden has blown series leads as a player. Joel Embiid’s thumb needs surgery. Yeah, it was definitely time to worry for a second.
One Sixers fan may have taken their worry a smidgen too far, though. Just a bit. A fan under the Twitter handle Hat Trick Papaya held their grandma in a cage and promised not to free her until the Raptors were closed out.

Nah, man. This ain’t right. Free grandmama. She ain’t do nothing to deserve this, man.
The series is over now. Grandma needs to be freed. Tobias Harris, who played incredibly with 19 points and 11 rebounds in the Sixers’ closeout win, is demanding that she be shown to us free and unharmed.
Need evidence that she is free and safe. https://t.co/if49vnHGCz

Tobias is a real one, man. He did it for grandma. We still haven’t seen the proof, but it’s good to know Harris is on the case.
Sixers fans thought this was hilarious. Some even wanted to keep her in the cage for the Heat series so the team could keep winning. But that wasn’t the deal Hat Trick Papaya made.
