RING THAT BELL.
Joel Embiid. We’ve missed you so much.
After dropping three of their last four games, the Philadelphia 76ers overcame a pedestrian, discombobulated half and put together a determined final 24 minutes of basketball to claim the third seed in the East. The Pacers managed only 30 points in the second half, 11 of which came in the third quarter.
Sunday’s win cannot be understated. Indiana hasn’t missed a beat since their best player went down. Victor Oladipo was vital to their success on both sides of the ball, and Nate McMillan has kept his team performing at a high level.
