Joel Embiid Needs Only Three Quarters To Extend 30-Point Streak
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid played only three quarters in Sunday's blowout win over Washington, but it was more than enough for him to record his sixth consecutive 30-point game. He put up a game-high 34 points in 31 minutes, shooting 12-for-21 from the field and 10-for-12 at the free-throw line. Embiid has been shy in the double-double column lately and only picked up eight rebounds Sunday, but he made a big contribution on the defensive end with four blocks and a steal, and also tallied four assists. The next matchup against Cleveland looks a rough one on paper for Embiid, but he should then enjoy two massive performances against Charlotte and Indiana, two teams that have been awful defensively against centers all season.
