Joel Embiid’s final line:
45 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, five steals, and two blocks.
Embiid made 16 of his 23 field goal attempts, and hit all 13 of his foul shots.
Doc Rivers:
“It’s who he is, and we tell him that every night. When we put him in the middle of the floor, I thought they really struggled. He willed this game for us tonight, and so did other guys.”
? @JoelEmbiid becomes the first @sixers player with 45+ PTS, 15+ REB and 5+ STL since steals were first tracked in 1973-74!
