We know what we got to do," said Embiid.
"We've gone on the road and we've won. It's not going to be easy in that environment, but it's the same thing. Everybody has to step up, starting with me.
"I got to be more aggressive, as far as shooting and making sure I get my teammates looks and everybody else has to do their job and everybody has to show up.
"But it's going to be fun. Game 7 that's why you play, for these types of games. Tonight was pretty tough, but we know how much better we could have been. We've got to respond, and got to go win."
