Philadelphia 76ers: 3 keys to a Game 3 win over the Toronto Raptors

As the Philadelphia 76ers bring the show back to the City of Brotherly Love, here are three keys to a Game 3 win over the Toronto Raptors.

It’s here folks; it’s finally here: After an ugly showing in Game 1, the Philadelphia 76ers are returning to the hallowed halls of the Wells Fargo Center with some serious momentum at their backs.

With Greg Monroe and Mike Scott both reportedly making appearances at practice following  injuries in Game 2, and against the Brooklyn Nets respectively, and Joel Embiid hopefully recomposed following a stomach bug, the Sixers could very well back be back to full health for their 8 pm Thursday Night contest, a pleasant sight for fans worried about the team’s already underpowered bench.

After initially being dubbed a ‘top loaded team with no depth’, re-inserting Monroe and Scott back into a rotation that also features a smoking hot James Ennis could do wonders for the team’s long-term prospects both over the remainder of this series and moving forward if the team is able to advance into the Eastern Conference Finals.

But let’s not put the cart before the horse here. While it would be great for the Sixers to ultimately pull this series out, the team has to win Game 3 before they can worry about Sunday, next Tuesday, or any game after that. With a slew of potential factors playing into the team’s performance, here are three keys to a Philadelphia 76ers Game 3 win over the Toronto Raptors.
