“Maxey and Embiid combined for 60 points to lead the 76ers” — ESPN game recap

Stat Raptors 76ers
Final score (Nov 8, 2025) 120 130

The upshot

Watford’s triple-double was the first of his career, and it came in a game where Toronto scored 43 points in the first quarter—yet still lost by 10. That offensive imbalance tells you everything about how quickly Philly’s scoring firepower, led by Maxey and Embiid, can erase a lead.

Tyrese Maxey stats vs Raptors

Maxey averaged 27.5 points across the four 2025 meetings. His 31-point outing on Nov 8 was his highest of the season against Toronto.

Joel Embiid performance

Embiid scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Nov 8 game, shooting 10-of-18 from the field. His presence in the paint forced Toronto to rotate early, opening up perimeter looks for Philadelphia’s shooters.

The catch

Toronto won the February, March, and late March games by an average of 11 points per game, but all three were decided before the fourth quarter. The 76ers’ Nov 8 win was the only one that came down to crunch-time execution.

The implication: Toronto’s defense against Maxey in pick-and-roll will determine whether the season series evens out or tilts further toward Philadelphia. For similar statistical breakdowns, see Warriors vs Timberwolves Stats: Head-to-Head & Key Numbers.

Bottom line: The Raptors’ 43-point first quarter on Nov 8 showed offensive ceiling, but Philadelphia’s depth — Maxey and Embiid combining for 60 — exposed Toronto’s inability to sustain defensive pressure across four quarters.

Who scored 81 points against the Raptors?

Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game

Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006. That remains the second-highest single-game scoring performance in NBA history, behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962.

When did Kobe score 81 against Raptors?

The game took place at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Bryant shot 28-of-46 from the field and 18-of-20 from the free-throw line. The Lakers won 122-104.

The implication: that single-night eruption remains the statistical high-water mark not just for the Raptors franchise but for any individual scoring performance of the modern era. No player has come within 10 points of it since.

How many times have the Raptors beaten the 76ers?

All-time head-to-head record

As of late 2025, the all-time regular-season series is close. The Raptors have won roughly 45% of their meetings with the 76ers since the teams first played in 1996. Exact counts vary because preseason games and early franchise history are classified differently across databases.

Raptors vs 76ers playoff series history

The defining playoff moment came in 2019. The Raptors defeated the 76ers 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, capped by Kawhi Leonard’s Game 7 buzzer-beater. That series swung on a bounce that rattled the rim four times before falling.

The pattern: playoff meetings are rare — just one series since both teams entered the league — but that single series produced one of the most iconic shots in NBA history.

Who are the 76ers’ biggest rivals?

Boston Celtics rivalry

Historically, the 76ers’ top rival is the Boston Celtics. The two teams have met 21 times in the playoffs, with Boston holding a 14-7 series edge. The geographic proximity and division alignment fuel the intensity.

Toronto Raptors rivalry

The Raptors-76ers rivalry is newer. It intensified after the 2019 playoffs and has produced competitive, physical games since. While not yet at Celtics-76ers level, the Atlantic Division stakes keep it relevant.

The trade-off: the Celtics rivalry has decades of history, but the Raptors rivalry offers immediate stakes for fans in both markets because both teams are currently competing for playoff positioning.

Who is Toronto Raptors’ best player right now?

Scottie Barnes performance

Scottie Barnes entered the 2025-26 season as Toronto’s leading scorer and primary playmaker. He averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through the season’s first 15 games.

RJ Barrett’s role

Barrett scored 22 points in the Nov 8 game and has settled into a secondary scorer role. His shooting percentages have improved, making him a reliable complement to Barnes.

Why this matters: Toronto’s rotation is young. For a team without a clear franchise superstar since Kawhi Leonard’s departure, identifying a clear “best player” drives both roster construction and fan identity. Barnes currently holds that role, but consistency across a full 82-game season will determine whether he keeps it.

What was the largest margin of victory in Raptors-76ers history?

The largest margin is 35 points, set by the 76ers in a 2008 regular-season game (133-98).

How many triple-doubles have been recorded in Raptors-76ers matchups?

As of November 2025, there have been at least 5 triple-doubles in the series, with Watford’s being the most recent.

Which player has the highest single-game score in Raptors-76ers games?

Kobe Bryant’s 81 points (Lakers vs Raptors, 2006) is the highest individual score in any game involving the Raptors. In Raptors-76ers matchups specifically, Allen Iverson scored 54 points for the 76ers in 2001.

For the Raptors, the takeaway from the 2025 season series is that their offense can hang with Philadelphia’s, but consistency across four quarters remains elusive. The 76ers, meanwhile, proved in November that even a 43-point first quarter from Toronto won’t stop Maxey and Embiid from winning. For a Toronto front office weighing a roster reset versus a playoff push, the choice is clear: find a defender who can slow down Maxey, or rely on the young core to outgrow the inconsistency.
