Embiid had 30 points and 13 rebounds in his second game back from a sprained right knee after receiving his MVP trophy in a pregame ceremony.
The Sixers pulled within five on De'Anthony Melton's 3-pointer to get the crowd back into the game for all of 20 seconds before Malcolm Brogdon countered with a 3 to give Boston a 100-92 lead. Al Horford crushed the Sixers again - as he has most of his career - when he buried a 3 for a seven-point lead.
Embiid was flanked by his parents and teammates as he received the MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver before Game 3. Sixers fans roared as Embiid hoisted the trophy high over his head. Then the moment turned touching. Embiid's young son, Arthur, ran onto the court and into the arms of his father.
"Honestly, he's the main reason why I'm really here," Embiid said. "Becoming a father really changed my whole life. I just wanted to show him a good example."Boston spiked any emotional carryover from the ceremony and raced to a quick 10-point lead. Embiid gamely tried to carry the Sixers on one good knee, but got almost no help from James Harden and Tyrese Maxey. Harden's 45-point effort in a Game 1 upset in Boston seemed more an aberration than a sign of things to come. Harden followed his 2 of 14 in a Game 2 loss with 3-for-13 shooting for 16 points.He did hit P.J. Tucker for a 3 that pulled the Sixers to 74-72. Harden then missed two straight jumpers and fouled Brown on a tough layup.
