Joel Embiid was crucial for the win with a 3-point-strike with little over 40 seconds left on the clock

Philadelphia 76ers rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat Milwaukee 133-130 on Saturday, ending the Bucks’ 16-game winning streak. Crucial for the win was Joel Embiid, who made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 41.4 seconds left on the clock.

The 76ers were trailing by four points 125-121 before James Harden, who scored a game-high 38 points, hit a 3-pointer with 1:21 left. After Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a shot from around the basket, Embiid sank a 3-pointer that gave Philadelphia its first lead of the second half.

After Jrue Holiday missed a 3-point attempt with 25 seconds remaining, the 76ers went 6 of 6 from the line the rest of the way to seal the win.

Antetokounmpo had 34 points and 13 rebounds for Milwaukee. Brook Lopez and Holiday added 26 points apiece. Grayson Allen had 20, all in the third quarter.

Milwaukee had the longest winning streak by any NBA team since the Phoenix Suns had 18 straight victories early last season.
