With a respectable regular season conversion of over 36% from beyond the arc, the Raptors are struggling to get it done against Philly in the ongoing postseason serise. Kyle Lowry is shooting a miserable 28% from deep in the playoffs so far and the team shot a collective 9-of-36(25%) from long-range in their most recent loss to Embiid and his Sixers.

Veteran sharp shooter Danny Green missed six of his eight 3-point attempts and finished with just 8 points in a game where Toronto could've got rid of the pesky Sixers once and for all.

Moreover, Kawhi Leonard, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka shot a combined 0-of-10 from beyond the arc in Game 6. The Raptors missed 14 of their 17 3s in the first itself and things just went downhill from that point onwards.
