The night has finally come. The anticipation of the future for the Sixers and the conference semi-finals have been signed and sealed. After a heated series with the Brooklyn Nets, Philly locked in a space in the next round with a final score of 122-100.
Joel Embiid battling injuries on and off throughout the series didn’t stop the Sixers from advancing to the next round. The Sixers used a tactic that involved alternating between Simmons and Embiid and it was a crucial element in attaining this advancement to the next series. (#TrustTheProcess)
What’s next?
Embiid will be ready for the next series between Philly and the Toronto Raptors because coach Brett Brown has been purposely resting him throughout their previous series with the Nets.
The Toronto Raptors have a home-court advantage and the teams are closely matched so this series will be a lot tougher than the last.
