Daily News | Joel Embiid’s three downs Raptors, 104-101, in OT and puts Sixers one win away from a sweep
Harden split a pair of foul shots with 49.7 seconds left to knot the score at 95. But the point guard was called for his sixth foul with 27.2 seconds remaining. However, Sixers coach Doc Rivers called a timeout to challenge the call. The challenge was unsuccessful and Harden had to leave the game.
Embiid misfired on a three-point attempt. Harris grabbed the rebound and appeared to be fouled several times while missing the put-back before time expired on the clock. As a result, the game went to overtime.Early on, Embiid lacked the domination he displayed in Games 1 and 2. The MVP finalist was held to five first-half points on 2-for-5 shooting. His first made basket came on a driving layup in the first quarter.
He woke up in the third quarter, though. That’s when this season’s scoring champion scored 18 of the Sixers’ 24 points on drives to the basket, jumpers and foul shots. Adding his assist on Niang’s three-pointer, Embiid accounted for 75% of his team’s points in the quarter. Paul Reed replaced Embiid at the start of the fourth quarter. Taking advantage, the Raptors scored the first five points while opening the quarter on a 7-2 run to take an 82-76 lead.
