Philadelphia big man Joel Embiid logged 30 points and 13 rebounds, but it was not enough because no other Sixer cracked 20 points.
“I don’t want to be swept,” Embiid said via the AP at the time. “I don’t want that in my resume. I’ll be playing my butt off. I’m going to come in and do everything that I can to make sure we win a game.”
Alas for Embiid, the Sixers were indeed swept.
