There are few people who deserve to be more confident than a 7-footer who just hit an utterly absurd game-winning three with 0.9 left on the shot clock to win an overtime playoff game. Joel Embiid did exactly that, stealing the 3-point win for the Sixers who never led by more throughout the game.

He finished with 33 points and 13 rebounds on the night, buoying his club in a game that the Raptors desperately needed to win, and one they also looked poised to do so.

“It felt great. Obviously we know what happened a couple years ago,” said Joel Embiid after the Sixers win. “They’ve got great fans. They’re loud. I knew coming into Toronto, I was definitely going to be the bad guy. It felt great, but the job is not done. We’ve got to get one more.”

Joel Embiid knows there's still a lot more work to do to get his Sixers over the mountaintop.
