Giannis outduels Embiid with 52 but 76ers prevail

MILWAUKEE -- When given a choice of who he would rather be defended by -- Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons -- Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't miss a beat before responding.

"It's easy," Antetokounmpo said. "I would rather Ben guard me than Joel. It's simple. If Joel's been guarding me all night and he's been making everything so tough on you, when someone switches on you -- Jimmy (Butler) or Ben or (Mike) Scott or (Boban) Marjanovic -- it's way easier."

On Sunday afternoon, both Antetokounmpo and Embiid were spectacular.
