The Mavericks hit another bump in their uphill climb toward a playoff spot. The team lost to the 76ers 116 to 108.
Embiid flashed his MVP credentials as he plays with a calf injury and powered the Sixers back in the fourth against Luka Doncic and got them to 50 wins in 76 games. Embiid hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 103 and followed with a 16-footer the next time down for what ended up the winning basket and keep the 76ers as the No. 3 seed in the East.
"If one game is going to hurt anybody's chances, then I guess everybody should be out of it," Embiid said. "We all have bad games, guys miss matchups, that's not the first time." Some voters opined Embiid’s day off could cost him MVP first-place votes. Rivers said that wasn’t a fair decision. The 76ers are not only coming off a four-game trip, they wrapped a stretch where they played 12 of 15 games this month on the road.
