PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid and the 76ers barely have a leg to stand on. With the 76ers trailing 101-100, Embiid missed an easy look on a layup that he normally would have dunked home for the go-ahead bucket. The All-Star center wasn’t the only slumping against Atlanta: the 76ers blew a 13-point halftime lead, made only four baskets -- four! The Sixers blew an 18-point lead and the Hawks rallied to beat the 76ers 103-100 in Game 4 and even the Eastern Conference semifinal. — KEEP AN EYE ON: With Embiid ailing, Simmons refused to take over and lead the Sixers to the brink of a series clinch.
