He's the biggest baddest man on the floor, he can not allow the Knicks to outfight him.
At what point did the Knicks play dirty at home? When Maxey didn’t get a call on something that Batum/Oubre were doing to Brunson all game?
The NBA admitted to the missed calls. Embiid regrouped and said to himself, if they are going to swallow the whistle, I will be the last man in the NBA to lose a fight. Now I see why Embiid felt the need to make a public statement regarding the Sixers being more talented. He made an adjustment, the Knicks will not outfight him, he will scratch and claw too. He will not allow them to win by out scratching him, he can do that too.
You're still bringing up game 2? The NBA admitted to missed calls on two plays in the final minute of that game; Maxey getting fouled by Brunson/Hart...and DiVincenzo getting fouled by Embiid...that's one extra possession for each team*, one due to a foul that they let Embiid get away with.
Nevermind that none of those "missed calls" involved a knick trying to injure a 6er. Be better.
EDIT:
*one extra possession for the knicks, was mixing up possessions and forgot we retained the ball.
Thanks for the catch HW!
