Joel Embiid scores 40 points, adds 13 rebounds as Philadelphia 76ers beat Atlanta Hawks 118-102 to even series at 1-1
Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid, left, goes up for a shot against Atlanta Hawks' Clint Capela during the second half of Game 2 on June 8, 2021, in Philadelphia. The 76ers beat the Hawks 118-102.Shake Milton – yes, Shake Milton, with a little help from Joel Embiid – saved Philadelphia’s season.
Milton did not play in the first half but buried a long-distance 3 at the horn to send the Sixers into the fourth quarter with a 91-84 lead. He kept it going with a jumper early in the fourth that made it 95-84. Young, the breakout performer of the post-season, was held to 11 points in the half after scoring 25 in the first half of Game 1. The difference was defence. Simmons, an NBA defensive player of the year finalist, got the assignment in this one after Danny Green was overmatched in the opener. The Sixers were ready for Young: On one first-quarter possession, Young drove the lane and ran into Embiid. Young retreated beyond the 3-point line but was chased down and pressed by Embiid.
