Sixers overcome slow start to beat Thunder while awaiting James Harden’s arrival

PHILADELPHIA — A Theo Maledon 3-pointer dropped through the bottom of the net with less than three minutes to play, and an uncharacteristically subdued crowd briefly turned restless.

But then Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey quickly restored order for the 76ers with a beyond-the-arc make and driving layup, respectively.

The Sixers overcame a listless start (and finish) and got 25 points and a season-high 19 rebounds from Joel Embiid to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 100-87, Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
