NEW YORK -- To Joel Embiid, the Sixers' Christmas Day win on Monday was another sign that "The Process" is paying off.
"After what we've been through the past four years, I was so excited [today] because we've been through so much losing," Embiid said after the Sixers' 105-98 win over the Knicks. ".... To be able to be one of the few teams in the league to play on this day -- it just shows you how much we've improved."
Embiid had 25 points,16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks to help Philadelphia (15-18) snap a five-game losing streak.
