After winning the first three games of the first-round series against the Raptors, the Sixers were stunned by Pascal Siakam and co. who went on to win Games 4 and 5. Given Doc Rivers’ infamous record of 3-1 leads blown in the playoffs series, losing two straight games was a matter of concern for many.
A fan even went to the extent of sharing a photo of locking his own grandma until the Sixers “close out the Raptors”.

Fortunately for the grandma, Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tobias Harris, and the remaining Philly team managed to put on a clinic in Game 6, winning the contest 132-97. With the win on Thursday night, the Sixers managed to finally close out the series 4-2 and advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

As soon as the Sixers recorded the series win, Tobias Harris went online and wanted evidence that the grandma was free. Harris, who had a solid 19-point, 11-rebound double-double in Game 6, wrote:
Need evidence that she is free and safe.

So far in these playoffs, Tobias has been averaging a solid 17.8/9.5/2.8. If the Sixers want to end up lifting the 2022 Larry O’Brien trophy, the 29-year-old will have to keep up his effective performance.
