Joel Embiid had another huge outing for the Sixers, with 37 points and 16 rebounds. But the NBA's leading scorer fouled out in the first overtime and that put the Sixers at a sizable disadvantage in the second overtime period. Tyrese Maxey added 22 points while De'Anthony Melton added 19 points. James Harden did play, fighting an injury, but only had 5 points. Harden did have 7 rebounds and 12 assists, though. PJ Tucker is questionable for Wednesday.
