Joel Embiid had a play-off career-high 40 points as the Philadelphia 76ers levelled their Eastern Conference semi-final series with the Atlanta Hawks.

The 76ers won 118-102 at home to make it 1-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Earlier on Tuesday, Embiid came second to Nikola Jokic in voting for the NBA's Most Valuable Player for 2020-21.

And the Utah Jazz, the number one seed for the play-offs, opened their Western Conference semi-final by edging a 112-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
