It’s a common line on a big block: “He sent that into the fourth row.” It’s a colorful bit of hyperbole.

Toronto’s Pascal Siakam literally sent Philadephia’s Gerald Henderson’s shot into the fifth row (by my count on the video). That is a vicious rejection by the rookie.

With no Joel Embiid in the game tonight (rest on a back-to-back, glad someone picked up the slack and got us some blocks. Toronto led by 11 at the half.
