Joel Embiid Snaps Three-Point Slump Despite 76ers Blowout Loss

Joel Embiid ended a brutal 0-of-19 three-point slump over his previous seven games by hitting a long-range shot early in the second half of Tuesday's 123-101 blowout loss to the Boston Celtics. Embiid noted that making the shot boosted his confidence immediately on his next attempt. However, the 76ers suffered from severe lack of three-point shooting volume and a depleted frontcourt missing key backup rim protectors behind Embiid.
