In a recent NBA game, the Philadelphia 76ers secured a victory over the Atlanta Hawks, with a final score of 125-114. The 76ers' win was largely attributed to the stellar performance of Joel Embiid, who scored 38 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, despite a late leg injury scare.
Embiid's injury did not prevent him from scoring six points in the final moments of the game, showcasing his offensive skills and rebounding prowess. Tyrese Maxey also contributed significantly to the 76ers' win, adding 30 points, including a crucial 3-pointer.
The Hawks, on the other hand, played without Trae Young and Jalen Johnson due to illness and injury, respectively. Despite the loss, Hawks coach Quin Snyder praised his team's effort. Clint Capela also had a notable performance for the Hawks, recording 15 points and 16 rebounds.
The Hawks had taken a lead at halftime but struggled to execute in the final minutes of the game. The 76ers' defense had some lapses, but they were able to secure the victory.
