Joel Embiid records HISTORIC 70 PTS, KAT goes for 62 & KD’s game winner in Chicago | SC with SVP
We Begin up with the best thing I saw today where else but Philadelphia what a what a night Greg papovich on how wemi was going to try to keep that guy in check we’re going to hammer his ass I told wemy to stick him put your
Butt right in his stomach back him down over the rim and just throw him through the rim all right so that’s the strategy or that embiid the bigger man obviously get off me and loses it here flips it up backhand flipsy off glass 24 first quarter points the most first quarter
Points by a Sixers player since 9697 they only lead by four but embiid’s got 30 now Spurs down four wanyama you you laughed at this when we were watching this in real time you’re like watch this Replay that is funny and be’s like what do you want me to do I don’t
Know keep scoring all right I will in the playby playay era there have been four instances of a player entering halftime with a 30p point double double embiid has three of them Antoine Jameson has the other what is the play byplay era is that where we keep track of every
Play but what does that mean no one knows what that means I don’t I host the show thought we’re talking Johnny most embiid he’s still scoring o wemi he’s got 33 you need you needed a lot more than that oh beautiful back door to Kelly UB yeah give him the goggles
JoJo he learned it all in eight months in Lawrence Steve he’s up to 50 we have Co a quarter to go embiid he’s up to 59 I beg your pardon keep going I sh fourth quarter the sixes lead by a dozen and beid Spins sent him to the line a chance for
60 bag he hit the second he’s up to 61 that is a career high but this is one of those nights where we’re just going to see how high can we send the number 63 bottoms it’s a 13-point game MB that’s cash as well under two to go he’s got
68 take it down the lane big man regulate 70 18 boards five assists the third player in NBA history with 705 he joins who else Wilt who did it five times and Elgen Baylor Sixers win by 10 here’s MB on being compared with will it’s great uh obviously you can
Compare errors and stuff but you know what he was able to do uh was amazing obviously he’s got all the workers so anytime someone beats his workers he’s like I me you must be doing something good so but you know just trying to you
Know the the like I said the goal is to be dominant every single every single game wherever that takes me sometimes it’s going sometimes it’s making plays for for other other uh my teammates too but you know you also got to give them you know credit to my teammates and
Coaches um you know that’s all out of high hand you know I got a lot of uh extremely UNS surfish guys and uh we just playing together so I mean all the credit goes to them and when you’re ahead of wil you know he’s on the list
But now you’re ahead of him you’re doing something Wilt 68 was back in ‘ 67 entering Monday that was the third oldest standing franchise single game scoring record trailing only the Kings and the Warriors 70 for Joe tonight remarkable Talent Carl Anthony towns was also on one as well as the West leading
Timberwolves hosted the Charlotte Hornets bottoms from three he’s going to do it again and the next Timberwolves possession we’re going to leave those dots there those represent made PR there’s going to be a lot of dots on the floor do it again same thing all
Three of these he had 20 points in the first quarter and he is still cooking in the second how many dots we got 1 2 3 four 5 make it six but as you can see the lead’s not as much as you’d think it might be considering the towns was in the proverbial
Bag again oh my word Timberwolves bench going bananas he’s eight for eight from three so far can he make it nine all alone oh he missed 44 in the first half passes Kobe 42 for the most in the first half again the play-by-play era Timberwolves lead by five there’s a two
Boring next Timberwolves possession little fake from the three-point line drops the hammer he’s got 50 any other night you’re clearly the leading score in the league not tonight another three the leads nine another three he’s got 58 through three quarters kind of on the same Pace as embiid was tabs just the second
60-point game and the only Timberwolves player in history to score 60 in a game so he’s done it twice towns again it’s just a one-point game so that’s a new franchise record the problem is the Hornets signed up for 48 Steve I believe that’s first time I’ve given that math PJ Washington
Bucket good Brandon Miller oh that’s a big hit it’s a five-point game lamelo ball shot clock winding down got to get it up no Timberwolves grab the rebound call timeout you have to believe you’re going to even though you’ve got Edwards who is a walking bucket himself
This is Town’s night to make something happen loses the ball gets Stripped Away he wanted a foul call didn’t get it you tell me is there a foul looked like the arm got hit no call Coach Finch afterwards was not thrilled with anything that happened ton night it was an absolute disgusting
Performance of defense and immature basketball obviously we’re going to try to feed a hot hand look for a hot hand but at some point we got to get back to making the right play we got to get back to doing the right things um and um you
Know that’s just uh like I said there’s a lot of ways to be immature there’s always a lot of ways to be immature um and there was a lot of immature performances here throughout the the roster we totally disrespected the game ourselves um and we got exactly what we deserved
So Chris did did you also see I mean did it turn into Carl trying to hunt like a a big number yeah I mean it was I mean but for a while it was going um but you know down the stretch we you you know kind of dried up for us but um
Yeah interesting assessment from the head coach of the Timberwolves they are still 30 and 13 multiple 60-point games occur on the same day for just the fourth time in the history of the leg hadn’t happened since the final day of 7778 they ought to do a 30 for 30 on
That David Thompson had 73 and George gin’s like how many do I need for the scoring title I believe he had it at halftime Iceman went for 63 and that one uh who else is on the list all the lists yeah it this will Giannis and the Bucks
Visiting Detroit on Monday Pistons come in with a 438 record one of my sons saw their record on the bottom line daddy the Pistons are 3 and 38 yeah they’re they’re struggling Marcus Sasser giving him a onepoint lead oh there’s Giannis from Chris Middleton bucks lead by one
Sasser float game up point he had 23 this game is tied at 100 Giannis just patiently pivoting until he can find a little clean airspace they’re up but now they Trail by one good ball movement Dame Lillard hits the three and the Bucks lead by two the one-point game Giannis beautiful spin
Nerf the lead is three under three to go Giannis blocked finds Brook Lopez Sasser will get to steal now we’re flopping all over the place good hustle doesn’t cost anything to hustle ends up getting knocked down low to Lopez and suddenly the lead swells to eight Middleton buries the three Giannis 3117
And 10 that’s an impressive triple double but uh that’s in the B Block given what happened tonight they win by nine best team in the East Celtics visiting Dallas high level star gazing going on in this one we’re tied in the second Tatum Jason Tatum step back three
Is pure the Celtics lead by eight Jaylen uh-oh Luca you have to retire you know how that goes yeah hit the deck you got to make the shot though if you really want to have some Chuckles 12-point lead Tatum off the window Tatum and brown had 52 points through three
Quarters Boston with a double digit lead heading into the final stanza here come the Mavs donic that’s patented and that’s cash donic would collect his 38th career 30-point triple double which passes LeBron for the third most 30-point triple doubles in NBA history the MS are close enough to make
It interesting at seven but Brown who finished with 34 make it four the hard way after the foul on the three and the Celtics win this one by nine Kevin Durant and the Suns hosting the Bulls this one would come down to the very last play Suns Trail by his as many as
23 in this one but it’s a six-point game when Durant cuts it in half a minute later Suns down one Durant Baseline and now the Suns leave but the Bulls have pushed back in front by three tie game again as Durant answers Demar D rozan on the other
End he’s going to get to his spot always has been patient such a versatile score down one up two Durant big hit and the Suns lead on the other end Bulls trying to tie it again D rozan doing exactly what I just described patience to get to
The spot he wants we’re noted up again one last possession guess who Durant oh my goodness Caruso comes in he’s got a double pump to get the shot off and it’s just unbothered man like Jordan over ELO 43 for him and then a chance at the buzzer was that to
Rosen Bill self told us that uh that man right there learned everything he knows about the game during his eight months and Lawrence Joel embiid scored 70 to surpass Will Chamberlain and established a new Philadelphia 76ers franchise record for points in a game a 10-point win over the Spurs and rookie Victor W
Bayama who had 33 besides 70 he had 15 boards five assists and a very happy locker room ready to wait for him and [Applause] [Applause] Celebrate y [Applause] makes you not want to score 70 maybe only two players before have gone for 65 15 and five in a game before tonight it was only Michael Jordan in 1990 that was against Cleveland he had one fewer Point than mbid did tonight and one more
Assist so it’s the rare list that does not include wil But it includes MJ so here it does good list to be on yeah

Embiid was gifted 20 points from the refs for his flopping. So really he scored 50 points on 41 shots. Not impressed
its like nobody really defends anymore
Wemby is too small weight wise to compete with joel tbh
KAT numbers didn't equal a W.
embiid move like someone thicc aunty 💀💀💀
Wolves coach wild af and disrespectful 🤦🏿♂️ Kat got fouled on that last play clear as day💯
The modern game has been engineered to make scoring faster and easier, that makes these performances less impressive than older scoring performances. It's sort of a circus. The NBA needs to return to allowing defense to be played.
Why are they showing KAT highlights and he took the L. 😆
This just proves… points don’t mean u the best
If they didn’t stop calling clear fouls for Embiid after he hit 60 he could’ve easily had 80
Every 1/22 I want to see hoopers put up buckets! Mamba out🫶🏿
Man! This is why i say KD is who he is, a phenom!! Yeesh
🐐
Remember when Stephen A was talking about Philly maybe trading Embid and build around Simmons 😂😂😂😂😂
i kinda get chris finch’s criticism of kat. no one else ever got their offense going because they kept forcing him the ball. kat only scored 4 points in the fourth because he was totally gassed by then. with him unable to score as effectively, the wolves couldn’t get anything going and got absolutely demolished in the fourth. kat just couldn’t maintain that level of effort the whole game and it ultimately cost the team the win
there's no reason to have a player like KAT drop 62 and the team still lose but if he was LBJ, KD, or any other "big name" player, he's getting that foul called as soon as he gets pass the free throw line.
Giannis is that guy and that should be kyrie in Milwaukee
Good game but I’m ngl that was least exciting 70 ball I’ve ever seen!
The third oldest team scoring record was Wilt with the 76ers, 68 points. The oldest team scoring record is Wilt with the Warriors, 100 points.
KAT having 62 and his team still losing is EXTREMELY concerning.. And this was against the hornets. Yikes.
Do it again
Old heads complaint about there’s no defense nowadays but say there was defense when wilt scored 100…. How
No defense league 😂
against a rookie wpow what player pfffffffffffffffffff
Mj did too
Coach only had something negative to say cuz they lost. Had they blown out the Hornets, he would’ve been heaping praise on Katt. GTFOH 😒
Kat had terry on him after the screen. Ant was suppose to give it to him he had a smaller guy on him and Ant had Miles bridges on him. IF YOU LOOK GOBERT IS IN THE PAINT AREA NOT CLEAERING OUT AND NOT GIVING HIM ENOUGH ROOM TO WORK. ALSO GOBERT DIDNT CLEAR OUT FAR ENOUGH OR TO THE CORRECT SIDE. MC DAIELS WAS SUPPOSE TO ROTATE UP GOBERT WAS SUPPOSE TO CLEAR OUT TO MC DANILS SIDE (3) AND GIVE KAT ROOM TO WORK HE WOULDT OF GOTTEN TRIPPLE TEAMED AND FOULED! COACH WAS WRONG.
In the spirit of Kobe Bean Bryant!
Best night in Nba this year!
I guess it does take 2 to get 70 there Bean town when it takes only one in Philly (MVP)👑
I am disgusted with the immature actions of the Timberwolves coach. What a disgusting act I hope it gets exactly what he deserves. When You are 30-12 And the fans had. A crazy, good time experiencing something that they probably will never experience again.
Special special night for Kat. I hate the Ill placed disrespect.
Wemby 33 impressive tho
