Daily News | Joel Embiid hit game-winning jumper to lift Sixers and spoil Matisse Thybulle’s homecoming
The 76ers All-Star center sank a 14-foot turnaround jumper with 1.5 seconds left to cap a 120-119 comeback victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Sixers battled back from a 21-point deficit to improve to 44-22 and extend their winning streak to four games. In the process, the Sixers snapped a two-game skid at the Wells Fargo Center. But Maxey closed the gap to one with a pair of foul shots. And the Sixers had a chance to win with 7.2 seconds left.
Anfernee Simons finished with 34 points while making 8 of 12 three-pointers after missing the last four games with a sprained right ankle. Lillard has 22 points on just 6 of 15, including going 2 of 8 on threes. He had zero shot attempts, one assist, and one rebound before heading to the bench with 3:52 left in the quarter. Thybulle was a plus-16 during that initial 8:08 stint.Former Sixer Matisse Thybulle on his Garage Fishtown mural, love for Philly, and impending free agency
