Daily News | Joel Embiid and James Harden propel Sixers to tiebreaker over Cleveland Cavaliers with 118-109 win
Their 118-109 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse gave them a 2-1 series edge over the Cavs.Joel Embiid was called for his sixth foul when he apparently pushed off on Evan Mobley for an offensive foul with four minutes, 12 seconds remaining. However, coach Doc Rivers challenged the call. It was overturned, allowing the Sixers’ biggest star to remain in the game.
This tiebreaker over Cleveland could come in handy, considering Philly has a tough remaining schedule. With Allen sidelined, Cleveland second-year power forward Evan Mobley moved to center. The 7-foot, 215-pounder drew the tough assignment of having to guard the 7-2 and listed 280-pound Joel Embiid.
