Philadelphia 76ers

Joel Embiid and a full-strength Philadelphia 76ers squad made up for lost time against some familiar faces on the Brooklyn Nets. After missing Brooklyn’s first trip to Philly earlier this season, Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey all had unfinished business — Embiid shuts down Kyrie Irving’s attempted alley-oop to former teammate Ben Simmons, then the Sixers are off to the races. Harden tees up a long outlet bounce pass to Maxey, who finishes the transition attack with a dump-off to a cutting De’Anthony Melton for the dunk. The 76ers were firing on all cylinders, as the Embiid-Harden-Maxey trio combined for an apropos 76 points in the 137-133 victory on January 25, 2023.
