Daily News | Sixers rally to beat the Brooklyn Nets in James Harden’s return to Brooklyn
NEW YORK — Joel Embiid waved his arms to signal “no good” as the officials reviewed Spencer Dinwiddie’s last-second launch from 32 feet away. The 76ers’ star acknowledged nearly an hour after the game that he still had not seen a replay of the shot, but in the moment had caught wind from his team’s bench that the ball was still touching Dinwiddie’s hand as the clock hit zero.
With less than 10 seconds to play, Harden got downhill for an opportunity to sink his former team but missed at the rim. Yet Embiid — the superstar Harden has now teamed up with in Philly — was there to corral the rebound, draw the foul, and make the two free throws that put the Sixers up, 99-98, with 5.2 seconds to play.star who was at the center of the Durant blockbuster — missed a baseline layup for the Nets with 2.
“I don’t get caught up into homecomings or all the outside distractions. I think our focus was to come in here and win the game, and we did a good job of that.” Simmons, meanwhile, continued to come off the bench and did not play down the stretch, even after the Nets’ roster overhaul. He finished with four points on 2-of-3 shooting — including an open look underneath that gave the Nets a 92-83 lead with 8:58 remaining — and added three rebounds and three assists in 16:24. He also occasionally guarded Embiid, but that matchup did not elicit the level of fan reaction as the last game in Philly.
