Joel Embiid had a sensational night

Despite the loss, Embiid was clearly the best player on the court. He scored 41 points against the brutal Boston defense. Furthermore, Embiid also grabbed 12 crucial rebounds and had 3 blocks in the game. The 7ft center also made 17 of his 18 free throws in the game while managing 57.1% efficiency from the field.

However, despite his brilliance, Jayson Tatum stunned the Sixers when it mattered the most. His three-pointer over Melton was exactly what his team needed at that moment. The Sixers were prepared for it and for Tatum to still make that shot proves how unstoppable he has become this season. Hopefully, fans will be treated to a playoffs series between these two teams.
