Scottie Barnes in a close OT win vs. the 76ers: 31/6/7 | +/- of +15 in a 1-point win

^(EDIT: They gave Scottie another board & rebound after the game so his final statline for tonight is 31/7/8.)

On…

¹⁰⁄₁₉ FG

¹⁄₄ 3P

¹⁰⁄₁₂ FT

Scottie definitely had a much more quiet 2nd half than his dominant 1st half but his impact was felt all the same; he got a dunk late in the 4th to cut the 76ers lead to 2 before his former coach called a timeout, eventually tying the game at the line on the Raptors next possession.

Unfortunately, the referees had different plans for tonight’s game with a questionable travel call on Barnes which would have had the Raptors leading by 1. Thankfully, the team was able to tie the game in the clutch to force overtime where Barnes would eventually win the game at the line with a FT at the line - and a very clever miss to burn the remaining time on the clock.

I agree it was 8 v 5 at the end of the game, however, Scottie definitely travelled, it was pretty obvious. Pivoted after pivoting.

I thought the tech he got was pretty hilarious.

I also think that the final play where he hooked Oubre would probably have been called offensive foul if the 6ers had a challenge left. That said, the refs were so bad, I don’t think they specifically had it out for Toronto, more likely they were just bad at their jobs in that last 5 minutes.

Also, on the 76ers broadcast, you can see Scottie perfectly plays the free throw miss. He didn’t come off of the line until the ball hit the rim – I was half expecting the refs to call it back for a lane violation since on the Raptors telecast, we couldn’t see the start of the play.

Wild game, though.

This guy is really strong. He was constantly facing double/triple teams and it ain’t bothering him

Not a questionable travel IMO. He dragged the pivot foot. Regardless he was amazing tonight.

Is it ok when Embiid does it ? Makes up for all the no-calls, but it still wasn’t an offensive foul so…

and vj got fouled on that three btw. insane ref job

Lot of questionable calls tonight including the no call on VJ on the inbounds and the no call on VJ on the 3 to tie the game. Oh, and Barnes hooked Oubre first on the final drive.

That game was brutal all around on the ref front.

Reffing was so brutal for the Sixers that the Raptors needed to win 2 back to back challenges at the end just to stay in the game 😢
