I realized I should go check Tatum. He has 23 games of -20 or worse in his career (in more games than Embiid).
Only one came against Philly, it was in the playoffs, and in the next two games Tatum scored 16 in the 4th quarter to force a Game 7 where he scored 51 to advance.

The Celtics were on the canvas for pretty much the entire 2nd half of game 6 yet the Sixers simply refused to finish them off.
And then Tatum just decided that they’d had their chance so he went and won the series over the next few quarters by himself.
