After Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a shot, Embiid hit a 3-pointer that gave Philadelphia the lead for the first time in the second half.

After Jrue Holiday missed a 3-point attempt with 25 seconds remaining, the 76ers made six free throws for the victory.

Harden added 10 assists and nine rebounds. Embiid had 31 points, 10 assists and six boards.
