    Joel Embiid grabbed a two-handed rebound, turned and heaved an 85-foot, right-handed strike with a throw ripped from Bryce Harper’s playbook that banked off the glass and rattled off the front and back of the rim and out.

    The Philadelphia center was flat on his back in disbelief over the near-make that would have sent the game to overtime.

    “It would have made for a long flight, long night and not a lot of sleep,” Suns coach Monty Williams said.

    Rest easy, Phoenix.

    Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges and the Suns walked off winners on the road for the second time this week against one of the top teams in the East. Paul scored 28 points, Booker had 19 and Bridges 18 to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 116-113 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
