WASHINGTON — \u2014 Tyrese Maxey<\/a> scored 39 points with 10 assists, and the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> stormed back with Joel Embiid<\/a> on the bench, beating the Washington Wizards<\/a> 139-134 in overtime on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten.<\/p>\n

Embiid scored 25 points in a season-high 23:02, but with the 76ers managing his minutes, it was Adem Bona<\/a> who turned the game around late. He blocked four shots in the fourth quarter and another in OT as Philadelphia rallied from a 16-point deficit after three to improve to 4-0.<\/p>\n

Alex Sarr<\/a> scored 31 points for the Wizards, who had 110 points in the first three quarters then only 16 in the fourth. When Khris Middleton<\/a> missed from the left elbow in the final seconds for Washington, the game went to overtime tied at 126.<\/p>\n

The Wizards then scored the first five points of overtime before conceding a 9-0 run, including a follow dunk by Bona with 27.6 seconds left that gave the 76ers the lead. A 3-pointer by Kyshawn George<\/a> made it 135-134 with 7 seconds remaining, but after Maxey made two free throws, Middleton forced a pass into heavy traffic that was intercepted.<\/p>\n

Washington had eight players in double figures by the end of the third quarter before collapsing.<\/p>\n

The Wizards led 72-68 at halftime and went on a quick 14-3 run at the start of the third quarter. They led by as many as 19.<\/p>\n

Embiid did most of his damage in the first half, when he had 18 points. Trendon Watford<\/a> made his season debut for Philadelphia after missing the first three games with hamstring problems. He scored two points in 18:20.<\/p>\n
