It goes like this sometimes.
Playoff series take on a warped life of their own, refuse to behave.
The Philadelphia 76ers still haven't played a better game than the Raptors, yet are now tied 2-2 and have the comfort of homecourt for Game 5. Despite what the scoreboard said, the Sixers didn't beat the Raptors. The Raptors beat themselves. Toronto had one of those days where too many wide-open looks just wouldn't fall. If they had, you would be wondering today if the Raptors were going to wrap up the NBA Eastern Conference semi-final in Philly on Wednesday or in Toronto two nights later.
