Joel Embiid's career high keeps 76ers alive in series vs. Knicks

YardBarker - 14 days ago - Down 2-0, Joel Embiid insisted his 76ers were still winning their series against the Knicks. He backed it up in Game 3. The reigning NBA MVP shattered his previous playoff high with 50 points on an incredibly shooting night where he shot 5-for-7 from three-point range and 13-for-19 overall. Philadelphia cut the series lead to 2-1 with a 125-114 win over the New York Knicks. He almost didn’t stay in the game. Embiid delivered an incredibly dirty foul in the third quarter, pulling a leaping Mitchell Robinson down by the ankle. He also delivered a kick to the groin. Robinson left with an injury and Embiid escaped with only a flagrant-one. Perhaps fueled by the relief of avoiding an ejection, Embiid got especially hot in the third quarter. Philadelphia scored 43 points to turn a two-point deficit into a 13-point lead. The big man hit four of his triples in the quarter and had 18 points overall.

Tom Thibodeau throws major shade at referees after Knicks’ Game 3 loss

YardBarker - 14 days ago - New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was clearly unhappy with the officiating during his team’s Thursday loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers picked up their first win of the series against the Knicks in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round matchup held at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Embiid erupted for a playoff career-high 50 points in the 125-114 affair. But the reigning MVP also turned himself into public enemy number one among Knicks fans for several questionable plays. Embiid was called for a flagrant one during the first quarter when he grabbed Knicks center Mitchell Robinson by the ankles. The 76ers star was lying on the floor and tried to prevent Robinson from scoring an easy basket. Thibodeau during his postgame press conference was asked about the flagrant foul against Embiid. The Knicks coach responded by implying that Embiid should have been called for more than just one flagrant. “Which one? The one [the referees] called, or the one they didn’t call? Just want to make

Knicks center exits with sprained ankle in Game 3 loss

YardBarker - 14 days ago - Knicks center Mitchell Robinson exited Game 3 against the Sixers with a sprained left ankle, according to the team. Robinson was previously questionable before the game with an ankle issue. According to The Athletic’s Fred Katz, Robinson looked hobbled throughout Thursday's loss. Even with him playing through the injury, losing Robinson is a huge deal for the Knicks with Joel Embiid on the other side of the court. Robinson is averaging 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 31 games this season. In the first two games of the series, he averaged 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. When he exited the game, Robinson had two points and seven boards. New York was a plus-seven in Robinson’s 12 minutes of play but lost Game 3 by 11 points. Isaiah Hartenstein (who drew the start) and Precious Achiuwa will likely see an increase in minutes if Robinson is to miss extended time. Hartenstein finished Game 3 with 14 points and five fouls and Achiuwa ended with four points and three fouls. By defeating New York o
