Friday night’s victory over Portland was one of those games that rewards perseverance as a sports fan. The Sixers trailed the Blazers by double digits for the majority of the night, and logically, you might chalk it up as a loss and use that last hour or so of your time Friday evening more productively. But in sports, you never know! Stick around and you just might bear witness to magic from Joel Embiid that you’ll remember for years to come.
That game-winner with one second left capped off a 21-point comeback effort and marked the fourth straight win for Philadelphia.
