Amazing stuff from Joel Embiid! The Cameroonian star scored 70 points, leading the Sixers to a home win (133-123) over the Spurs. He had 21/23 shooting, 23/39 2-pointers and 1/2 3-pointers, as well as 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block with just 1 foul in 37 minutes.
The Philadelphia Leader became the 9th player in NBA history by scoring 70+ in a League game. In fact, the 29-year-old athlete set a new record for the organization, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain’s 68 points, which he had accomplished on December 16, 1967.
In addition to the 70 points, Embiid had 18 rebounds and 5 assists for the Sixers, while Tyrese Maxey added 18 points and 8 assists.
From his side, Victor Webanyama scored 33 points and had 7 rebounds for the Spurs.
The twelve minutes: 34-35, 62-58, 104-89, 133-123
However, Embiid’s performance was not the only great one of the day. Karl-Anthony Towns had 62 points in the Timberwolves’ 128-125 loss to the Hornets in Minnesota. The Dominican ace had 10/14 shots, 11/20 2-pointers and 10/15 3-pointers, as well as 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
