76ers vs. Raptors results: Highlights from Toronto's dominant Game 5 win image

Well, the Raptors made that look easy.

Toronto blew past the Sixers with ease in Game 5, taking a 3-2 series lead after an evenly-spread offensive onslaught.

Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 25 points, followed by Kawhi Leonard on 21 points. Leonard also tallied 13 rebounds and had two monstrous poster dunks.

Joel Embiid overcame an uncertain injury staus to start for the Sixers, but his respiratory illness clearly took a toll. He mustered 31 minutes but finished with just 13 points.

Start of fourth quarter - Raptors 92, 76ers 70

It's been a down night for Kawhi Leonard, especially in comparison to his scorching start to the series. But he has contributed the two defining moments of the game with massive tone-setting dunks.

 

Third quarter, 3:34 - Raptors 90, 76ers 68

Pascal Siakam gets on the end of a great Marc Gasol outlet pass and Toronto is stepping on the gas. Siakam is now up to 23 points.

 

Third quarter, 5:22 - Raptors 80, 76ers 60

The second half has just picked up where the first left off. Toronto is moving the ball beautifully and forcing Philadelphia into awkward looks on the other end. 

Halftime - Raptors 64, 76ers 43

Kawhi Leonard did our job for us by providing the perfect play to summarize the first half. His inexplicable dunk capped off a dominant display from the home Raptors as they head to the break up 21.

 

Second Quarter, 0:34 - Raptors 60, 76ers 41

Pascal Siakam always looks totally out of control, but also totally unstoppable.

Second Quarter, 10:49

Joel Embiid loves a pump fake, but this time Serge Ibaka returned the favor.

First Quarter, 0:41

Fred VanVleet's shooting has been ice cold recently, but his defense can still have an impact.

First quarter, 4:49

Pascal Siakam is off to a great start, with nine points from seven shots to open the game.

Before tipoff: 

Joel Embiid has battled various ailments throughout the series, and was a gametime decision after dealing with an upper respiratory infection.

Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports Embiid will indeed suit up.

Kawhi Leonard has been carrying the Raptors this entire series, averaging 38 points and 9 rebounds per game. At home and chasing a win and 3-2 series lead, Kawhi may need to match that output once again.
