Daily News | Joel Embiid scores 52 points as Sixers hold off Celtics, clinch at least No. 3 seed
Embiid lacked aggression in his past few games in an effort to avoid injury. He vowed to be more aggressive after Sunday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. And that was obvious from the start against the Celtics.
He was on the bench at the start of the second quarter, but checked back into the game with 6 minutes, 42 seconds before intermission. It took him a little while to regain his rhythm, and he missed his first three attempts. But he followed that by making his final three attempts of the quarter.Dominating both ends of the court, Sixers’ Joel Embiid should dethrone Nikola Jokić as MVP
His 40th point came on his first shot attempt in the fourth quarter with 7:46 remaining. Then after Boston scored on ensuing possession, Embiid answered with another basket to knot the score at 81 with 7:06 left. Then his three-point play gave the Sixers an 89-88 lead with 3:40 to play.
