Watch Toronto Raptors Vs. Philadelphia 76ers Live Stream: NBA East Semifinal Game 3, Start Time, Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers scratched out a victory in Game Two of their NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series against the higher-seeded Toronto Raptors on Monday, and they’ll take the series-evening win even though Toronto more or less handed them the game on a platter. As SB Nation reported, Toronto managed just 36 percent shooting from the field and only 27 percent on three-point attempts. They turned the ball over nine times and were out-rebounded by 17. And yet, Toronto lost the game by only five points in a grind-it-out 94-89 affair. But team high (30) scorer Jimmy Butler says his Sixers just have to keep doing what they did in Game Two to take a lead in the series, which continues with Game Three that will live stream from Philly.
