76ERS 120,
THUNDER 113
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Joel Embiid scored 18 points while playing with a dislocated left ring finger, Ben Simmons had 17 points and 15 rebounds, and Philadelphia ended a four-game losing streak by beating Oklahoma City.
The 76ers lost all four games on a trip that knocked them down the Eastern Conference standings and raised questions about how far this team can go in the playoffs.
They usually last in the postseason as long as a healthy Embiid can take them. The All-Star center dislocated his left ring finger in the first quarter, an injury so gnarly that the bent finger stretched across his pinkie and the sight did a number on gag reflexes for those watching at home. Embiid made a brief stop in the locker room, got the finger taped and returned to start the second period.
The Thunder, who had won five straight, closed within two with three minutes left before the Sixers scored nine straight points to put the game away.
Steven Adams had 24 points and 15 rebounds for Oklahoma City, and Chris Paul scored 18.
Josh Richardson scored 23 points for the Sixers, and Simmons fell two assists shy of a triple-double.
