Joel Embiid Rumors

“It was needed,” Embiid said of his performance, which included a stretch of 11 straight points for the Sixers, from the game-tying basket with 3.3 seconds to go in regulation until he hit a midrange jumper with 2:03 to go in overtime. “We needed it tonight.” “We lost three games in a row. Our mentality should always be we should never lose two games in a row, and we lost three in a row,” he explained, “so there was no chance we were going down losing four in a row. So whatever I had to do and whatever my teammates had to do, we did it and we got the win.”
