PHILADELPHIA — A jubilant Joel Embiid laid back on the court and thrust his hips to the air back and forth in a crude gesture that only further delighted the packed Wells Fargo Center full of Philadelphia 76ers fans. It was that kind of night for the Wizards.
Days after pushing the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards were stomped by Embiid and the 76ers on Wednesday — losing 120-95 as Washington now trails 2-0 in the best-of-seven first-round series. Game 3 shifts back to the District on Saturday, where Washington will look to avoid falling in a bigger hole.
