Joel Embiid's night is over with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in 36 minutes. Philly is up 113-92 with 3 minutes to go and will, barring something truly unexpected, win a sixth straight game.
That should do it for Embiid. 37-11-8 on 12/22 from the field, Sixers up by 21 with just a few to play. 35+ mins for him, which should hopefully help the conditioning base.
After 3: Sixers 90, Pistons 78 Philadelphia ends the third on a 19-8 run to open things back up here after Detroit got to within one. Joel Embiid up to 28-8-6 for Philly.
