The Philadelphia 76ers were able to come away with a 131-123 overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday thanks to the heroics of Joel Embiid down the stretch of this one. The big fella had 40 points and 19 rebounds and he drilled a clutch 3-pointer late to force overtime.
In the overtime session, Jazz star Donovan Mitchell picked up two technical fouls and he was ejected from the game. At that point, Embiid and the Sixers were able to pull away with the win in an instant classic of a game.
Afterward, Embiid posted the video of his reaction to Mitchell picking up the technicals on Twitter and the two exchanged some playful barbs at each other.

This was an impressive win for the Sixers as they end the first half schedule on a high note and they will enter the All-Star break on a high note. Maybe Embiid and Mitchell will see each other a third time this season down the road.
