Embiid led the way with 27 points and 12 rebounds. But his turnover with 8.1 seconds left and the Sixers down 105-103 drew boo birds nonetheless. Paul George hit a big fourth-quarter 3-pointer, part of 14 points on 5-for-12 shooting. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 12 points and seven rebounds.

• Embiid had a brief injury scare, naturally, as his arm got tangled with that of Raptors rookie Ulrich Chomche. Embiid was holding his arm in pain shortly before halftime, but stayed in the game and did not seem to grab at it too much in the second half.

The Kings built a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but the Sixers were able to turn things around and were able to walk away with an impressive 117-104 win for their fourth straight. Tyrese Maxey had 30 points and eight assists to get the job done for Philadelphia on a night it had to dig deep in order to get the job done.
