Daily News | Inside Sixers: Joel Embiid’s quip after scoring 52 points, and Mac McClung and Louis King’s whirlwind week
to finish off the regular season. With the Sixers’ seed and matchup against the Nets already cemented, several rotation players skipped the meaningless finale. Instead, two-way players Mac McClung and Louis King both scored 20 points, and five others finished in double figures to propel the Sixers to build a big lead.
“If you’ve got the open shot, take it,” King said he was told. “Be in the passing lane early, so we can get out and run.” “Oh, he was an [expletive] bucket,” Dedmon said from his locker while watching clips on his phone of the 42-year-old Haslam, who notched his highest scoring total since 2009.
