The Wizards led this game by as many as 19 as they used a big third quarter, but the Sixers dug deep and once again rallied from a double-digit deficit to win it 139-134 in overtime. This is the third victory for Philadelphia in which it trailed by double digits in the fourth.

Even more importantly for Philadelphia, they got 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists out of Joel Embiid in just 23 minutes. Embiid struggled in the season-opener and sat out the 76ers game on Monday night so any serious signs of life from the injury-prone center is always nice to see.
