Daily News | Joel Embiid, Sixers call on reserves for consistent play after another blown lead: ‘We got to learn how to finish’
TORONTO — The 76ers have a problem, a problem holding leads. It nearly reared its head Tuesday night against the undermanned Indiana Pacers.
“We got to learn how to finish,” Joel Embiid said. “There’s no reason why the starters should have played in the fourth. I felt like coming in from halftime, we didn’t keep our foot on the gas. We tried to extend a lead to make sure that we don’t play in the fourth. So those are the next steps.” The starting lineup did their part. But the Sixers’ problems began when reserves entered the game around the 7:20 mark in the third quarter.
Perhaps luckily for the Sixers, Embiid was forced to return with 9:19 left after Jordan was ejected for committing a flagrant foul 2 on Duane Washington Jr. “It’s always great to get a win,” Harris said, “but we know we have to be better in the second half.” “It’s all about the focus,” Embiid said. “We got to make sure we follow the same rules that got us the lead in the first place. So I just think defensively we just got to be sound and just have the same focus.”Green will get his ring... finally
