Joel Embiid Bags 41 Points, 12 Rebounds Against Boston
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid dominated with 41 points against the Boston Celtics in Saturday's marquee matchup, adding 12 rebounds with five assists and three blocks. Embiid shot 12-for-21 from the field and was extremely busy at the foul line with a 17-for-18 effort. This was a fantastic performance from Embiid, but he likely would've traded it for a win, especially after his Hail Mary heave from 70 feet that would've sent the game to overtime was ruled out. The Process will be involved in a fascinating battle with Miami's Bam Adebayo in the next couple of games. It's a tough matchup on paper, but Embiid makes things look easy on most nights and could be very fired up after Saturday's events.
