Embiid’s 39 Lifts 76ers Past Pacers After 20–5 Fourth-Quarter Surge

Embiid’s big night and the late run

The Philadelphia 76ers pulled away from the Indiana Pacers for a 115–105 victory, thanks to a huge outing from Joel Embiid and a game-clinching 20–5 run in the fourth quarter. The game had been close for most of the night, with the Sixers holding modest leads, but it was the final period that decided things.

Embiid poured in a season-high 39 points while adding nine rebounds and three assists. After the Pacers started the fourth up 100–95, Philadelphia responded with a dominant stretch that flipped the momentum and sealed the win. It was a reminder of what Embiid can do when he’s rolling, even as he manages the fallout of past injuries.

What it means for both teams

Pascal Siakam paced Indiana with 20 points and five rebounds, but the loss extended a rough run for the Pacers — it was their 19th defeat in 25 games. Philadelphia improved to 14–10 with the win and will take confidence from closing out a tight game in the fourth.

Overall, the result spotlights two things: Embiid’s ability to take over when needed, and the Pacers’ ongoing struggles to string wins together. If Philadelphia can keep getting production like this from their star while managing his health, they’ll be a tougher matchup down the stretch. The Pacers, meanwhile, will need more consistent support around their primary scorers to stop the skid.
