Despite all the talk about a historic collapse, the Philadelphia 76ers took care of business and eliminated the Toronto Raptors with a 132-97 blowout win in Game 6.

It didn’t look like it would be an easy win for either team after two quarters. The Sixers held a slim one-point lead at the break before asserting themselves in the third.

Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey were dynamite in Toronto. The trio combined for 80 points, 21 rebounds and 24 assists to lead Philly to the victory.
