Sixers MVP front-runner Joel Embiid puts up a spectacle at home to give the Sixers their 40th win of the season.

Happy days are back for hoop fans in Philadelphia, with the Sixers playing great basketball. The Ben Simmons episode took its time before being finally settled. Amid all the controversies, Joel Embiid showed us his true potential as a superstar, taking the reigns in his own hands.

The addition of James Harden has only made the team better and lessened the load off Embiid. The Philly team has been on a terrific run lately, winning six of their last seven games, and are a perfect 5-0 with Harden on the court. However, Monday night’s performance against the Bulls belonged to Embiid.

In a matchup between two of the top seeds in the eastern conference, the Sixers had a dominant win over the Bulls. Embiid had a statement game, scoring a 40-point double-double on 55.6% shooting from the field. The seven-foot center said he aimed at being aggressive going into the game.

It was a good response from Embiid to Jokic, with the latter putting up back-to-back triple-doubles. The win against the Bulls marked the 40th regular-season win for the Sixers.
