On re-watch of last 5 mins of the 4th quarter last night, this was an outrageously good pass by Tyrese Maxey.

On the move, moving away from the target, one-handed skip, the target moving, and right into the shooting pocket so no time wasted gathering the ball before Edwards dips into his shot base.

Justin Edwards was asked if he remembered what he yelled out during his barrage of threes in the fourth quarter.

His mother issued a warning from the back of the media room.

The for-kids version: Let’s freaking go!

Asked Justin Edwards how the last shot felt coming out of his hands. His account of it is quite funny:

Dominick Barlow, still OUT tonight as he recovers from a right elbow laceration, is on the court for a pregame session.

As you can see, sleeve on right arm but seems to be bending the elbow fairly comfortably.

VJ Edgecombe was 2-for-9 going into 4th quarter vs TOR and missed his next 3. Then scored 6 straight for the Sixers to stabilize the lead.

Last one was a great ATO by Nurse - Iverson cut for Maxey into an angled ball screen for VJ, both Raptors go with Maxey, gives VJ a layup.

Asked Nick Nurse about Joel Embiid’s offense being ahead of his defense and how he anticipates Embiid improving defensively:

Some Jared McCain close-ups at shootaround this morning.

McCain laced a stepback 3 and yelled “Tyrese Maxey”.

Joel Embiid was asked what it’s like to see the Sixers’ improved play without him on the court.

His response mirrored that of, well, all of Philadelphia:

Maxey beginning his pregame routine with a ball-handling/tennis drill.

Asked Joel Embiid about where he is in the process of learning to trust his body again.

He gave an insightful answer on where he is mentally:

Embiid on the thinking behind his hit-ahead passes tonight: “I see all these guys. I’m here to help out. According to a lot of your peers, I’m not even a top 100 basketball player in this league. So I guess I just gotta fit in and see where I can help the team win.”

Embiid on excitement to return tonight:

“It hit me when I took that first terrible shot. I don’t know what I was doing. But I just felt like, ‘Well, I have the ball’. I don’t even know if anyone was in front of me. I just felt like shooting. I thought I made it and it wasn’t even close.”
