Joel Embiid’s efficient 36 points and 11 rebounds, along with James Harden’s second consecutive triple-double, propelled the Sixers to blow past the shorthanded Detroit Pistons, 147-116.
A collective applause rumbled through the Wells Fargo Center with about four minutes to play in the third quarter, as Joel Embiid walked to the 76ers bench.
The Sixers led by as many as 41 points in the second half by holding the Pistons to 40.4% shooting , out-rebounding Detroit by an eye-popping 55-26 margin and scoring 22 points off turnovers.Tyrese Maxey added 16 points for the Sixers, while Tobias Harris went 6-of-6 from the floor and finished with 14 points and six rebounds. As a team, the Sixers shot 60.7% from the floor and scored 25 fastbreak points and 82 points in the paint.
De’Anthony Melton , back in a sixth-man role after nearly two months as a starting guard, was the first sub for Maxey about midway through the first. Georges Niang , Matisse Thybulle , Montrezl Harrell , and Shake Milton followed after that, creating a brief stretch with an all-bench lineup before Maxey re-entered late in the first.
But Rivers’ team quickly put those concerns to bed with a fast start. They led 14-5 after Harden hit a three-pointer about three minutes into the first quarter — prompting an early timeout by Detroit coach Dwayne Casey — and 19-8 when Embiid drilled a trey about two minutes later. Harris scored seven of his points during that spurt.
