Joel Embiid had 42 points, 14 rebounds and five assists and the Philadelphia 76ers regrouped after squandering a 15-point lead to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-120 on Thursday night. Embiid put the 76ers ahead for good at 117-116 with a 10-footer with 2:32 left.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Bucks.
Philadelphia played without James Harden, who hasn’t made his 76ers debut since coming over in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets last week. The 10-time All-Star and 2018 MVP hasn’t played since Feb. 2 due to an injured left hamstring. Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton missed a 3-pointer with about nine seconds left.
The Bucks had one final chance after Philadelphia’s Furkan Korkmaz lost the ball out of bounds with 2.3 seconds left. After Embiid fouled Antetokounmpo to force one more inbounds pass with 1.1 seconds left, Middleton missed a desperation 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris scored 19 points each for the 76ers.

The Raptors clawed back within five points in the fourth quarter, but the Herd was able to hang on to win the game.
Tremont Waters guided the Herd to the win with 31 points while Terry Larrier added 20. Reggie Perry led the Raptors with 38 points followed by Jodie Meeks with 31.

The F4 female was brought into the Black Wolf station and measured 82.4 inches. The DNR also says nearly 20% of the prehistoric fish harvested Thursday were over 100 pounds — 9 out of 47 registered.
The Stockbridge station is seeing the most registrations. It had another 19 on Thursday for a total 219 measured there so far. The DNR says that’s almost 100 more than any other registration station. The largest fish weighed in there Thursday was 157.6 pounds.
The harvest on Lake Winnebago so far totals 673 fish: 100 juvenile females, 312 adult females, and 261 females. The harvest on the Upriver Lakes after six days is 45 juvenile femalees, 88 adult females, and 216 males.
