The Philadelphia 76ers were seriously shorthanded as they invaded the TD Garden on Monday to take on the rival Boston Celtics. They were essentially down to just Joel Embiid and the rest of the starters minus Tyrese Maxey as the bench unit was filled with three rookies and a second-year player.
Somehow, the Sixers came away with a 108-103 win over the Celtics as Joel Embiid took over down the stretch. The big fella finished with 41 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists as well as four blocks and two steals. He knocked down so many slutch shots down the stretch of this game and he set NBA Twitter ablaze.
Here were some of the best tweets on the night after a big win:
