Daily News | Joel Embiid’s 42 points and a balanced scoring attack power 76ers past Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, 123-120
MILWAUKEE — Maybe it was just a severe case of the Getting Caught Up in the James Harden Hysteria blues.
With the win, the Sixers moved up to third place in the Eastern Conference standings. They head into the NBA All-Star break 2½ games behind the first-place Miami Heat. With Harden still sidelined with left hamstring strain, the expectation was the Sixers would suffer the same fate against the Bucks.Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris both had 19 points. Niang added 18, while Furkan Korkmaz added 13 off the bench.Embiid hit a 10-footer with 2 minutes, 32 seconds left to put the Sixers up, 117-116. He then grabbed the defensive rebound on the ensuing possession and was fouled. Embiid split a pair of foul shots for a two-point cushion.
Niang got his sixth start of the season and first one since Dec. 3. The power forward joined Harris, Embiid, Maxey, and Matisse Thybulle. To make room, Harris started at small forward instead of his normal power forward.The 11th-year veteran scored more points in the first quarter than he had for the entire game in Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics, when he finished with six points on 2-for-7 shooting. Thursday, he had 10 points on 5-for-9 shooting in the first quarter.
