Joel Embiid made history for the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night by setting a franchise record with 70 points in a 133-123 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Despite Kevin Durant's impressive performance of 43 points and a game-winning shot for the Phoenix Suns against the Chicago Bulls, Embiid's outstanding achievement took the spotlight.
Durant, when informed about Embiid's feat during a media session, expressed awe and praised the current level of basketball in the league. He commended both players and coaches for bringing the game to what Durant describes as "the peak of basketball." Notably, Durant had previously tweeted that Embiid only needed three quarters, and in Monday's game, Embiid played in the fourth quarter, solidifying his historic accomplishment.
