Joel Embiid had 44 points while James Harden had a triple double, including a career-high 21 assists, as the Sixers came back from 20 points down to beat the Clippers. The Sixers have won 7 straight games. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Embiid, Leonard as advertised early
As for Leonard, the Sixers know through painful playoff experience that he’s incredibly strong and masterful at subtly shifting gears to squeeze off jumpers. P.J. Tucker was the initial defender on Leonard, though the Sixers were switch-heavy and the two-time Finals MVP looked typically unbothered regardless of matchup.
The Clippers’ bench outscored the Sixers’ by a 24-4 margin in the first half. It sometimes might be harsh to highlight insufficient scoring as a major issue for the Sixers’ bench, since Harden often carries the load when Embiid sits. The team’s second unit has played well overall lately, too. Still, the Sixers need their bench players to move the ball, convert open threes and play passable defense. They didn’t manage any of that in the first half Friday.
