Joel Embiid dominates in 76ers' rout of Nets

NEW YORK -- Joel Embiid had 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-99 on Sunday.

Tyrese Maxey finished with 25 points and 10 assists, and De'Anthony Melton scored 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting for his fifth straight double-figure scoring game.

"He's such a good shooter, a good player," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of Melton. "It's huge for us because there should be a lot of crowded paint, so we're going to need to shoot over the top of those sometimes."

The 76ers (10-3) shot 45.
