I mean, that was Cavs playoffs with Lebron on the bench bad. Maybe he played somewhat passive early to save his energy. I don't know. But for damn sure he was totally gassed by the end.

Embiid was owned by Gasol offensively the entire series (Gasol is one of the few who can shut him down, he's a former DPOY and still an elite defender). Embiid's defensive value is absolutely massive, though, to the point that the 76ers literally could not play without him at any point in the series. Even in the 3 minutes he missed tonight, I think Philly was like -11.
