Daily News | Joel Embiid’s 30 points — and clutch steal — in return from foot injury lift Sixers to 104-101 victory over Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young attempted to loft a pass inside as the seconds ticked down, but Joel Embiid leapt into the air to swat the ball away.
The Sixers briefly took an 80-77 lead on a corner three-pointer by Georges Niang late in the third, then again on two consecutive buckets by Tobias Harris and a driving layup by Matisse Thybulle to make the score 91-88 with less than nine minutes remaining. Both teams went back and forth after that.
The Sixers immediately go back on the road for their next three games at the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies Friday and the Houston Rockets next Monday.Unsurprisingly, the Sixers’ trajectory largely mirrored that of their MVP contender.
