Daily News | Sixers-Pacers takeaways: Joel Embiid shows, once again why he’s unstoppable; De’Anthony Melton’s defense
Tyrese Maxey is a road assassin, and De’Anthony Melton has regained his defensive mojo.Embiid started off slow for his standard Saturday night. The six-time All-Star was more content watching Maxey torch the Pacers in the first half and had 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting. However, Embiid imposed his will in the third quarter, scoring 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting and making 6 of 7 free throws.
His dominant third quarter displayed just how unstoppable Embiid is. He scored on turnaround jumpers, a floaters, and fadeaways. Once he got into rhythm, the Pacers had no chance of stopping him or the Sixers . Before intermission, Embiid got the best of the Pacers as a facilitator. Four of his seven assists came during that time while playing more of a point center.
