NBA Twitter reacts to Joel Embiid, Sixers beating up on Clippers
The Philadelphia 76ers were able to pick up yet another win on this current five-game road trip as they knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday 120-110. They were able to do so thanks to a dominant performance by Joel Embiid out on the floor.
The big fella dropped 41 points on 12-for-22 shooting, he made 15 of his 18 free throws, he had nine rebounds, and he dished out three assists. The Clippers truly had no answer for Embiid and he took advantage of both his size and skill advantage against Los Angeles in the paint.
Along with receiving another huge night from Embiid, the Sixers also got a big night from Tyrese Maxey off the bench. He had 22 points off the bench, Tobias Harris was terrific with 19 points, six rebounds, six assists, and five steals, and James Harden dished out nine assists to contribute despite a tough shooting night.
NBA Twitter gave its best reactions to the win.

Joel Embiid hears from the fans as he exits the court. This kid was yelling at almost every Sixer on their way to the dressing room. @JoelEmbiid took the time to stop and sign their stuff. @Liberty_Ballers pic.twitter.com/7vBVfJ8o01

Joel Embiid was brilliant (evergreen) but a great team effort. I'd say one of the better P.J. Tucker games of the season. And they don't win without that start to the fourth from Tyrese Maxey. Sixers are third in the conference, just a half game behind the Bucks at two.
