Nikola Jokic and Stephen Curry were joined on the first team by Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard as the All-NBA selections were announced Tuesday night.
Kawhi Leonard’s explosive one-handed dunk over Utah’s Derrick Favors was the exclamation point on a first half that saw the Clippers lead by as many as 29 points before going on to even the Western Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.
Joel Embiid shot 0-for-12 in the second half of Monday’s loss to Atlanta, including a miss on a potential winning layup attempt. Afterward, the 76ers star admitted to being bothered by his ailing knee and feeling early on like he “didn’t have it tonight.”
