Embiid was frustrated, and he let it show. It was late in the first quarter, and the Knicks were doing what they do. Crashing, driving, bobbing, weaving, passing, passing again, forcing the Sixers to scramble like the court was a game of Everybody’s It. The first half was a scramble, and the Scrambler-in-Chief did not look pleased to be involved.
Then came the second period. Embiid knew he had two fouls. He knew there were still five minutes of crunch time remaining. Yet he committed himself to a hard drive to the hoop despite the fact that Mitchell Robinson was several feet off of him and in solid position in front of the hoop. You can argue that Robinson flopped. But it was a call that was destined to be made the moment Embiid committed himself.
