Daily News | Joel Embiid scores 41 points as Sixers pull away to top Los Angeles Clippers, 120-110
LOS ANGELES — Joel Embiid raised his arms from the visitors’ bench, his work done for the day.
But the Clippers opened the third on a 19-9 run and outscored the Sixers 37-27 overall in the period, including a finish inside by Ivica Zubac to give the Clippers their first lead, at 79-78, with less than four minutes remaining and a Terance Mann driving layup to extend that advantage to three points.
Embiid scored nine points in the first five minutes, including a mid-range pull-up, a three-pointer and a follow off a Harris miss. Following his rest, he immediately powered his way to an and-1 finish, then converted a transition layup. After perhaps his only blemish — whiffing on an attempted alley-oop layup — he buried a three-pointer just before the halftime buzzer to give the Sixers a 63-52 lead.
Maxey entered for Melton at the 5:15 mark of the first quarter, and hit an off-balance jumper through contact for the old-fashioned three-point play just before the buzzer. His high-arching jumper early in the second gave the Sixers a 39-27 advantage. He also played the final two minutes of the first half.
