Joel Embiid was brilliant down the stretch Monday night after a rusty start, leading to Sixers to a 104-101 home win over the Hawks in his return to action. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Jaden Springer remained out. For Atlanta, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jalen Johnson were sidelined.
After a Melton turnover, the Hawks stormed down the floor and John Collins slammed in a dunk to give them a 25-18 edge. Embiid subbed out after approximately eight and a half minutes. On the night, he played 35:29. Just about every Sixer who played in the first half missed good looks. After Atlanta dug down on Embiid in the second quarter and he kicked the ball out, Georges Niang air-balled an open three.
Though Embiid frequently seemed to think first about spotting the open teammate, he had a couple of aggressive bursts even before his late surge, including an and-one layup on Clint Capela that tied the game at 75-all.
