Miami Heat fails to contain 76ers’ Joel Embiid and loses third consecutive game

Joel Embiid sank a three-point shot from the top of the key with less than two minutes left, turned around and raised his arms in the air.

Once again, the Philadelphia 76ers’ star center got the best of the Miami Heat.

Embiid scored 35 points — including 16 from the free-throw line — and JJ Redick added 25 to lead Philadelphia to a 124-114 win over Miami at AmericanAirlines Arena in a contest that featured 54 personal fouls and never saw a team lead by double figures until that Embiid three-point shot and Ben Simmons followed with a ferocious one-handed dunk shortly afterward.
