Daily News | Joel Embiid’s heroics lift the Sixers to a 118-117 victory at the Utah Jazz
made five of his first seven three-pointers but finished 7-of-20 from the floor to finish with 21 points., who nursed a sore left knee injured during Thursday’s home loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Jazz were even more shorthanded while playing on the second night of a back-to-back, playing without star forward Lauri Markkanen and veteran big man Kelly Olynyk, who would have been the primary defender on Embiid.
The All-NBA big man could not quite replicate his 59 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, and seven blocks. But he surely will take the game-winner. It’s also no coincidence that Embiid’s quiet second quarter — he scored just five points — coincided with the Jazz’s surge to get back in the game. They were sharp on both ends of the floor during the frame. They made six of their first nine three-point attempts, shot 65.2% overall from the floor, and only committed one turnover. The Jazz, meanwhile, connected on just 37.5% of their field goals, including a 3-of-14 mark from long range.
