Reaction: NBA players enjoy thrilling Thunder-76ers game too

The Philadelphia 76ers made a crazy comeback and forced the Oklahoma City Thunder into triple overtime before OKC was able to secure a 119-117 win in Philly on Friday night. It was bonkers and complete with fun trash talking.

Other players around the league, including LeBron James, were watching and enjoying the thriller.

Here are some highlights from the three overtime periods:

Beautiful Embiid assist

Embiid's game-high 34 points, eight rebounds and six assists included this sweet pass that helped get the Sixers a four-point lead with less than two minutes left in the first overtime period.

Emphatic Embiid block

Embiid kept the game tied at 102-102 with this monster block on Russell Westbrook to help force the first overtime.

WESTBROOK DUNK

Westbrook went flying through the key for a thunderous dunk in the third overtime period. Westbrook had a triple-double of 27 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists.

Embiid swats Westbrook again

Embiid finished with two blocks, so yes, they were both on Westbrook in extra time.

Andre Roberson redemption

Andre Roberson could've ended the game at double overtime, but he missed a reverse layup (to be fair, he was clearly fouled by Embiid).

Roberson got another chance in the next period, and he made it with 9.6 seconds left. It wound up being the game-winner.
