Sixers-Clippers observations, 'Best' and 'Worst' awards: Joel Embiid, Austin Rivers and Los Angeles' late meltdown

Here are my key takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 112-98 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.

Five observations

— The Sixers showed maturity by responding to the Clippers’ late charge. Down 16 points in the second quarter, Los Angeles pulled within two points with 6:05 left. The Sixers responded with a 13-3 run to put the game out of reach.

Justin Anderson has settled into one of the Sixers’ go-to reserves. The swingman finished with 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting.
