Toronto led Philadelphia by ten at the half but with 33 points and 13 rebounds Joel Embiid brought the 76ers back to tie the game 95-95 at the end of regulation. The game looked to be headed to double OT. But Doc Rivers wisely called a timeout with .9 of a second left to prevent a shot clock violation and Embiid delivered a 27-foot game-winning 3-pointer as the 76ers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
The GridCard surrendered some big scores; GB55 (45) put up the largest of five TallBoys. This was GB55's first KOTM and eighth Top Ten finish of the year. On the ProGrid Tour, a furious Grizzly rally and Embiid's heroics helped MMc (41), edge MW (41) on the tiebreaker. Jodyann (41) and dangerzone (40) had the other TBs. Four other players posted Qualifying Scores: Annabelle (38), Dano (37), Zeke (34), and btalkington20 (34).
The PGT set a Team GridCard scoring record, beating OG 160-130. Team Collins bounced Team Mac 125-87 behind Jodyann (41). Hamlin-Hopper winner GB55 (45) paced Team D to a 118-90 win over VBar.
