Joel Embiid scores more than half of the Philadelphia 76ers' points in their thrilling 103-101 win over fellow playoff contender Boston Celtics.
Joel Embiid scored 52 points on 20-of-25 shooting and added 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks to lead the host Philadelphia 76ers to a 103-101 win over the Boston Celtics in Tuesday night’s showdown between a pair of Eastern Conference contenders.James Harden added 20 points and 10 assists for Philadelphia , which has won three of four and avoided a four-game season sweep in the head-to-head series.
A hot start to the fourth helped Boston take its first lead after halftime as Blake Griffin pulled down rebounds that led to tying and go-ahead 3-pointers by White and Malcolm Brogdon by the 9:35 mark. Boston responded to Tucker’s treys with corner shots by Al Horford and Grant Williams, but its hope looked bleak until White sliced the deficit to 103-101 with two seconds left.
Brogdon followed with a trey of his own to flip the score before a 10-3 spurt from the hosts finished the period. Embiid scored seven points in that span and finished with 18 through just the first 12 minutes.
