Joel Embiid scored 38 points and pulled down 12 rebounds and Tobias Harris added 18 points and 11 rebounds as the visiting Philadelphia 76ers took charge early and just enough to hold on for a 115-109 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
The 76ers led by as many as 15 points late in the third quarter but could never put away San Antonio, which clawed back to within two points after a steal by Derrick White and a layup by Dejounte Murray with 33.2 seconds to play.
