Joel Embiid repeatedly stepped to the free-throw line with one thought in mind during critical moments of the Philadelphia 76ers' overtime victory against the Charlotte Hornets.
"Got to make them," Embiid said. "They call me 'clutch' for a reason, so got to make them."
Embiid was 14-for-16 from the line between the fourth quarter and overtime to help ice the 76ers' 133-132 victory Friday night. He had 42 points and 18 rebounds.
