The 76ers new signing Harden is still unable to play in this game, has just arrived in Philadelphia, and the next game may usher in the debut. Embiid still led the team alone, and his form was also very good, helping the team establish a double-digit lead in the first quarter, after which the Cavaliers launched a counterattack to narrow the point difference, and the 76ers led by 7 points after halftime. In the second half, the Cavaliers continued to fight back, once giving the score to the rebound, but it was good to find the feel on the outside of the team and regain the lead again, and Embiid continued to lead the team to open the point difference in the last quarter, and finally the 76ers still won the game.

In the game, Embiid's performance was very good, including a second quarter against Allen, and he sent a one-man dunk, which directly ignited the Wells Fargo Center. Such a hot performance has also made 76ers fans start to look forward to it infinitely, and his combination with Harden is indeed worth looking forward to.
Embiid also set a record in this game, with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first quarter, the second player to achieve this achievement since the 1996-97 season, the other is Simmons, who has just traded; he has at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in 7 consecutive games, the longest career, after Barkley in 1990, the second in team history; the 40+ big triple-double, second after the team's ever Chamberlain; and the second player in history to cut a 40+ triple-double in 33 minutes. The first to do so was his new teammate Harden.
