Joel Embiid posted 36 points in his return and the Sixers cruised Tuesday night to a 147-116 win at Wells Fargo Center over the Pistons. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:

Next up for the 25-15 Sixers is a meeting Thursday night in Philadelphia with the Thunder. Here are observations on their win Tuesday:Nerlens Noel started for the first time this season and matched up against an old friend in Embiid.

Tobias Harris still got the Sixers off to a fast start, posting the team’s first seven points on two tough jumpers inside the arc and a pull-up three-pointer. Embiid then scored a fast-break dunk thanks to Harden scanning ahead, seeing him in the frontcourt, and firing the ball to his big man. The Sixers’ starters appeared comfortable on just about every possession against Detroit. Embiid essentially had open jumpers available whenever he wanted them.

Head coach Doc Rivers played the all-bench lineup of Shake Milton, De’Anthony Melton, Matisse Thybulle, Georges Niang and Harrell late in the first quarter, though that group didn’t stay together for long. Tyrese Maxey soon replaced Thybulle, who made a couple of eye-catching plays in his brief first-half stint. He blocked a Burks jumper and cut smartly off of a Harrell post-up before making a tricky layup. On a negative note, Thybulle fouled jump shooters twice Tuesday night.

That idea faded quickly as the Sixers responded with a 15-0 run that included an and-one Embiid runner against Noel. Very improbably, Noel snapped the run by sinking the third three-pointer of NBA career; he’d been 2 for 13 heading into the game. Embiid, who had a wry smile as he jogged back down the floor, then pump faked and drove in for a powerful dunk.While the Sixers are no stranger to surprising comebacks, the undermanned Pistons simply had no hope.
