Joel Embiid (37 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists) and James Harden (29 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) played a big role and led the victory. Philadelphia, who went 36-19, maintained third place in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia’s performance in the first half was not good. Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson conceded points one after another, and Dorian Finney-Smith hit a three-pointer. Embiid and Harden worked hard, but this time they gave Joe Harris consecutive outer guns. In the second quarter, the perimeter defense was shaken, and Harris, Royce O’Neill, and Bridges hit 3-pointers. Harden scored consecutively, but again conceded outside shots to Bridges and Johnson to end the half with a score of 52-60.

Even in the second half, Philadelphia could not create a turnaround. Harden and Embiid continued their scoring streak, but the rest of the players were not properly supported. In the meantime, he conceded runs to Nick Claxton, Bridges, and Johnson. Here, Cam Thomas also gave points one after another. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 76-82, still Brooklyn’s lead.

In the fourth quarter, Philadelphia’s potential began to show. Jaylen McDaniels hit a 3-pointer, and Tyrese Maxey and Georges Niang also made offense. Brooklyn counterattacked with Harris’ consecutive outside shots, but with Harden and Embiid scoring, they caught up with one point (95-96) with 3 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game.

Afterwards, Spencer Dinwiddy allowed a dunk, but Philadelphia’s will to win was strong. Following Embiid’s successful mid-range shot, both free throws obtained with 5.2 seconds left in the game were successful, turning the game around successfully. Philadelphia completed a thrilling come-from-behind victory as Harden calmly put in two free throws from Brooklyn’s foul strategy.

Meanwhile, Bridges (23 points, 6 rebounds), transferred from the Phoenix Suns, stood out in Brooklyn, but his concentration dropped sharply in the 4th quarter and suffered a painful come-from-behind defeat. With this loss, the season record was 33 wins and 23 losses.
