MILWAUKEE — Maybe it was just a severe case of the Getting Caught Up in the James Harden Hysteria blues.
How else can you explain the 76ers bouncing back to beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 123-120, two nights after a humbling loss to the Boston Celtics?
Joel Embiid was back to his dominant self Thursday night, finishing with game-highs of 42 points and 14 rebounds to go with five rebounds. With the win, the Sixers (35-23) moved up to third place in the Eastern Conference standings. They head into the NBA All-Star break 2½ games behind the first-place Miami Heat.
