The Philadelphia 76ers were able to steal a 114-109 road win over the Chicago Bulls, thanks to the clutch trifecta made by Joel Embiid.
Embiid, who made a return after missing the team’s previous game against the Toronto Raptors on Friday due to a knee injury, pulled up his big boy pants and went on to lead the Sixers in a spectacular finish.
He missed back-to-back free-throws that could have given Philly an earlier upperhand, but he owned up to his mistakes and made a pay back in the next possession.
A three to give his team a 112-109 lead, thus a win.
“Good play call by coach and I just had to do my job,” Embiid said about his game-winning play.
Embiid raced through the end and carved up 25 points and seven rebounds. He will look to keep the winning composure going for Philadelphia as they cap off their road trip against the Washington Wizards on Monday.
