First, the Washington Wizards tried Alex Len, who looked overmatched. Then, there was Daniel Gafford, the energetic big who bit on just one too many shot fakes. And finally, there was Robin Lopez, a crafty veteran who still didn’t make much of a difference.
No matter which one of their bigs was on the court, the Wizards were unable to stop Joel Embiid.
The Philadelphia 76ers center had his best game of the series Saturday, dominating as the Wizards now are on the brink of elimination after a 132-103 loss at Capital One Arena.
