The otherwise hot crowd in Philadelphia didn’t boil so much in the first quarter while New York had an answer for every Sixers rush. All that, along with knee problems and facial nerves, must have been annoying Joel Embiidand when the referees did not play two fouls in a few seconds, the Cameroonian showed his frustration in the wrong way.

He pulled the leg of Mitchell Robinson, a direct rival on the field whose specialty is defensive play, from the floor. The center of Nix fell, there was a crowd on the court, but that was not such a problem. Robinson was injured on that occasion and could no longer return to the game.
“I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I just have to protect myself,” said the Cameroonian with French and American passports.
Super talented anyway Embiid, now he had the freeway open for a historic game. He reached 50 points with only 19 shots from the field. While he was impressively efficient, the math says he had to go to the free throw line a lot of times to get to the 50 mark.
He took 21 penalties, two more than the entire New York team (19-13).
“I’ll send clips like I do after every game,” he said in frustration Tom Thibodeau, the coach of the Knicks. “They will say that they were marginal contacts.” Then they will say that there was marginal contact and on Embiid, but he will still finish 21 free throws. That’s how it goes.”
The center of Philadelphia cannot be denied that he played a fantastic match and that he carried the team to a victory that means a return to the series after 2-0 from New York. But the way he hurt Robinson…
