"I’m coming for the sweep, too," Embiid told rapper Drake as he passed the Raptors’ celebrity fan on his way off the floor.

"I’ll be there," Drake replied about Game 4, which is set for Saturday afternoon in Toronto.

After 76ers coach Doc Rivers called timeout to save the possession as the shot clock was running down, Embiid took an inbounds pass from Danny Green and hit a turnaround shot from near the sideline before running back to his bench in celebration.

"Great play call," Embiid said. "Tobias set an amazing screen, Danny threw a great pass. All I had to do was finish, and I’m glad I did.

"It felt great but the job’s not done," Embiid added. "We’ve got to get one more."

Embiid’s shot came from near the spot where he missed a 3 at the end of regulation that could have won the game for the 76ers.

"For him, that’s a high-percentage shot, especially on that wing," Harris said of Embiid’s decisive basket. "We got the ball to our best player, somebody who makes plays, makes shots."
