The Sixers got 48 points from Joel Embiid and made another comeback push, but their winning streak ended at eight games Tuesday night at Capital One Arena with a 116-111 defeat to the Wizards. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
De’Anthony Melton opened on Beal and Matisse Thybulle checked in to assume that assignment late in the first quarter.
The Wizards still looked ill-equipped to handle the Harden-Embiid pick-and-roll once the five-time All-Star checked back in, but they kept on scoring. Defensive rebounding was a familiar issue for the Sixers, who allowed a third-chance Beal three and a second-chance Hachimura layup about a minute apart. The Wizards built their lead to 60-46 late in the second quarter on a top-of-the-key Porzingis three against the Sixers’ zone.
