The Toronto Raptors return back to Canada with their backs against a wall.
No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA Playoffs, and the Raptors will look to avoid falling into that historically irreversible hole when they host the Philadelphia 76ers at Scotiabank Arena.
The 76ers handled the Raptors in both Games 1 and 2, as Toronto had no answer for the trio of Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.
Toronto will still be without star rookie Scottie Barnes, who suffered a left ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of Game 1. He’ll be forced to miss Games 2 and 3 as a result, but head coach Nick Nurse says his progress has been encouraging and the team is hoping he’ll be ready to go for Game 4.
Can the Raptors pick up their first win of the series at home, even without Barnes in the lineup? Or will the 76ers continue to roll over Toronto?
