The Philadelphia 76ers won a 131-123 overtime victory over Utah Jazz on Wednesday, thanks to Joel Embiid’s heroism on Wednesday. The big guy had 40 points and 19 rebounds and made a 3 point clutch at the end of overtime.
In the overtime session, Jazz star Donovan Mitchell suffered two technical fouls and was kicked out of the game. At that point, Embiid and the Sixers were able to get away with winning an instant classic game.
After that, Embiid posted a video of his reaction to Mitchell taking the techniques on Twitter and the two exchanged some fun barbs with each other.
This was an impressive victory for the Sixers, as they finished the first part of the calendar on a high note and will enter the All-Star range on a high note. Perhaps Embiid and Mitchell will see each other for the third time this season.
