Joel Embiid and the Sixers steamrolled the Hornets on Friday night at Spectrum Center, extending their winning streak to seven games with a 121-82 victory, NBCSPhilly has the game recap.
James Harden posted a triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Tobias Harris added 18 points.
Harris came back into the game in the second quarter. The Hornets managed to stay close for a while in part because of a mediocre defensive stretch from the Sixers. Harris got beaten off the bounce by P.J. Washington for a layup. Rookie guard Bryce McGowens drove past Shake Milton before converting an and-one hoop.
Embiid inevitably found his game, though. During a 12-0 Sixers run in the first quarter, he made an and-one leaner soon before hitting an eyes-closed, and-one layup that he flipped over his shoulder.
