Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet have non lived up to their roles as the Raptors' all-time players
With a young team, you live with the mistakes.
Precious Achiuwa did almost all of the things down the stretch Wed, good and bad. He had a baby hook, a huge block at the rim and drew a foul downwardly the stretch to knock James Harden out of the game. He besides missed the two gratuitous throws that foul produced, fumbled away a possession in overtime and couldn't fight over a screen of questionable legality that preceded Joel Embiid'south winning 3-pointer only before the overtime cablegram — not that Embiid's clutch moment should counterbalance on him in particular.
Achiuwa did a monster job Wednesday, with 20 points and half dozen rebounds and picking upwards the bulk of the Embiid assignment as the Sixers heart put on a functioning equally worthy of his MVP candidacy, finally securing a 104-101 win — and a 3-0 series lead — with his iii.
"That's the heartbreak of this game," Fred VanVleet said of Achiuwa. "That'due south what makes it then great. He was a huge reason we were in this game."

Bulls with the improbable road victory
The Bulls simply pulled off an improbable road win at Milwaukee to even this first-round serial at 1-i with the serial shifting to Chicago for Game three on Fri night.
Most thought the defending champion Bucks would sweep the up-and-coming Bulls. The number of people who figured the Bulls would get a road win has to be minuscule. Just they outplayed the Bucks from start to finish.
DeMar DeRozan was incredible, scoring a playoff career-high 41 points with seven rebounds and four assists. Nikola Vučević was huge as well with 24 points, thirteen rebounds and two assists.
