NBA: Live reaction, recap as Bucks come back at 76ers

The Milwaukee Bucks came back from a double-digit deficit in the second half to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 118-116 behind Giannis Antetokounmpo's MVP statement. Not only did the Bucks superstar big man drop 40 points, 14 rebounds and six assists on the road, but he blocked Joel Embiid's game-tying attempt to secure the win. Philadelphia led by 14 points and went up 91-81 early in the fourth quarter before allowing Milwaukee to regain the momentum. James Harden scored a team-high 32 points but couldn't knock down a 3-pointer in the final seconds.

Embiid's putback layup was blocked by Antetokounmpo and originally ruled a goaltend that tied the game. Following a challenge and ensuing review, the call was overturned and Milwaukee held a 118-116 lead with 1.6 seconds remaining. Despite winning jump ball, the 76ers weren't able to get another shot off as the Bucks survived a trilling finish. Embiid compiled 29 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists in the loss. Jrue Holiday was huge in the fourth quarter, knocking down multiple big shots down the stretch and finishing with 18 points and 10 assists. Khris Middleton added 22 points.
