The Toronto Raptors realized that on Monday.
In the second quarter at Scotiabank Arena, Embiid drove to the rack before unleashing a vicious slam. The 76ers' bench got pumped up with the highlight play, with guard Kyle Lowry providing the best reaction .
We're not exactly sure what's going on there. Is he referencing something?
Lowry, who won a championship with the Raptors , has always been a character, and it's nice to see him still enjoying the game despite not getting any minutes.
When the smoke cleared, the 76ers beat the Raptors, 115-102, on the second end of their back-to-back matchup. Philadelphia avenged its one-point loss in overtime, 116-115, to Toronto on Sunday.

The Sixers have now won six of their last eight assignments.
Embiid had 27 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals, although he also had a game-high seven turnovers. Tyrese Maxey led the scoring for the 76ers with 33 points, including 6-of-9 three-pointers.
Paul George and VJ Edgecombe combined for 30 points, six rebounds, and 14 assists.
The Sixers had a rough start to the season , with Embiid, Maxey, George, Kelly Oubre Jr. , and Jared McCain all missing time. The inconsistent roster made it difficult for coach Nick Nurse to build a rhythm.
Now, with the lineup back in full force, the 76ers have started to make headway. Plus, with bench guys like Lowry showing their support, it seems team chemistry is not a problem at all.
