Is everything OK with Joel Embiid?
After all, the game got out of hand with him on the bench: What was a tight 72-71 game when he sat with 7:44 to go in the third became a 94-78 Golden State runaway by the time he returned at the 2:36 mark. Against a not particularly formidable front line -- Zaza Pachulia, JaVale McGee, occasionally Draymond Green -- Embiid was largely bottled up all night, unable to get to his spots in the paint or make the Warriors pay for clogging the inside with his mid-range jumper. As things were slipping away in the third, JoJo further killed the Sixers on a couple plays by being a step late and out of position, forcing rotations that left a wide-open Warriors shooter or gave up a clean look at the basket.
