Looking release there from Jeremy to start the game I think oh it is a shooting foul here Jeremy soan they do a nice job moving the ball around the basket be on the arc handling the ball inside pocket pass Vel kick out soan spot champeny open three on the way got

It Julian champeny and back to- back threes for the Spurs to start soan at an ocean attacks the bucket shot wouldn’t drop of the right and Joel MB brings down the rebound 1614 as embiid knocks down a couple of free throws and then the steal by

Batum he’s got Maxi and UB junr running the floor and UB Jr will get them off their feet here at Wells Fargo Center and prompt a timeout his first field goal of the night Maxi averaging career best 26 points and a double dribble call called on Jeremy so in the second turnover of

The game for the Spurs the double comes as they get it out of embiid’s hands right back to enbi spins on soand goes through mcdermit the block from Collins but a foul yeah I mean even just splitting our Gobles Doug durman comes back but it’s a little too late and and beid forces his

Way to the basket again running the floor he was looking to get it ahead from Jeremy now cuts to the Baseline he had he had Victor for a lot there oh Trey Jones trying to you there with Jeremy Jeremy Tred to catch it with his left hand put it down but [Applause]

Unsuccessful and we still have 341 to play until halftime Jeremy with a good look for three again Victor now trying to front embiid here comes Jeremy underneath they create the havoc and they’re able to come away with the stop this time vior might have gotten a piece of that one

Jeremy soan running the break no he gets fouled though we’ll get a couple of free throws they did give Victor credit for a block there as the Spurs will get a couple of free throws after the timeout and despite a 30-point half already for Joel LBI Sean Spurs are hanging tough here

5753 the advantage you have when you have Victor wiama W wiama out here running before Freez it right here you can see that read normally he would have stepped up and stopped Jeremy but he’s afraid of this lob right here so he sticks tightly to Victor and gets involved at the last

Second allows Jeremy soan a free Lane to the basket and a couple of free throws so and who had a couple of huge free throws at the end of the game in Washington on Saturday night after knocking down his only three of the night but it was arguably one of the

After the Wednesday game against OKC two is take by Jeremy so he’s been at The Rim however and out of bounds it’ll go back over to Philadelphia yeah he can’t lose his confidence he’s got to let the ball fly they’re backing off of him and suck in the pain Maxi pocket pass embiid

In the paint miss his last couple from that spot UB Jr missing on the three offensive board embiid lost it ticks it to himself puts it back in extend the lead to 13 yeah I thought for sure Pap was going to bring Victor to the bench but he elects

To keep him out there and Victor did a nice job at the end of that first half not fouling when he had three smart by Jeremy soan if they’re going to just sag off you like that much just creep up and take that little 89 foot jumper take

Up the space make it an easier shot for you Jeremy’s there to clean up the mess soan will push back into the front Court eyes right for the rim Paul Reed swaps it away Victor takes a look at the three go down line he’s got a couple of

Blocks this is a an unbelievable performance from Victor W Bama obviously understandably overshadowed by what it me has done up to this point as he’s fouled and beat is by Jeremy soan trying to stay with him second foul on Jeremy fourth team foul against the Spurs they go right to MBI and fouled

And we’ll get to the line for a chance to set a new career high 2106 the cell top here Jeremy Sohan will launch a three and Jeremy soan his second three-pointer of the night he’s got nine Spurs is a club tonight 11 of 34 from downtown just keep running that same

Jeremy Sochan NBA game No. 99.
January 22, 2024. Full Highlights.
San Antonio Spurs – Philadelphia 76ers (123-133)

Joel Embiid put on a performance for the ages — and thought it could’ve been even better.
Embiid scored a franchise-record 70 points, the most in the NBA this season, to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 133-123 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
He was 24 of 41 from the field, including 1 of 2 from 3-point range, and made 21 of 23 free throws. Embiid also set a career high with 18 rebounds. He broke Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain’s 76ers record of 68 points, set on Dec. 16, 1967, with a layup with 1:41 to play.
“I was actually mad at myself because I missed a lot of easy shots that I’ve been making all season,” he said.
Chamberlain was playing for the Philadelphia Warriors when he set the NBA record with 100 points.
“Obviously, Wilt accomplished a lot of things,” Embiid said. “To be in the same conversation is pretty cool. It was just a great night. Had it going. They just kept giving me the ball and I just finished it.”
A six-time All-Star and the league’s reigning MVP, Embiid has scored at least 30 points in 21 consecutive games. The 76ers have won six in a row.
“The only thing I told my teammates was, ‘Please don’t force it,’” he said. “Let’s just play basketball. We were just trying to play the right way.”
Rookie Victor Wembanyama had 33 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes in the first matchup between the 7-footers. The rebuilding Spurs fell to 5-19 on the road.
“It would have been more fun in a win, of course, but it’s inspiring, especially offensively,” Wembanyama said of playing against Embiid.
Embiid had tied his career high of 59 points through three quarters and re-entered the contest with 6:38 left and Philadelphia ahead 118-104. With the record in sight, the 76ers were feeding him the ball at every opportunity.
“The game was still pretty close,” Embiid said. “Felt like I needed to go back in. Once I got back in, I was like, ‘There’s my chance. Might as well go and do it.’”
Philadelphia first-year coach Nick Nurse marveled at Embiid’s performance.
“Obviously he can score in so many ways, just his sheer size gets him a lot of stuff around the basket, gets him a lot of free throws,” Nurse said. “The shooting touch is the skill part. The way he moves, the skill he has, the size he is, and he gets motivated like that, anything can happen I guess.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo had the previous high game in the NBA this season with 64 points.
Embiid embraced former 76ers coach Brett Brown, now a Spurs assistant, after the game and later praised him.
“He’s done a lot not just for me but for the whole city of Philadelphia,” Embiid said. “I’m kind of glad I did it in front of him so he can kind of see the product of what he created.”
All eyes were on Embiid and Wembanyama from even before the first tip when fans lined the court to watch the Spurs’ French phenom in warmups. The home fans already know what Embiid can do, and Philadelphia’s star might have wanted to make sure they didn’t forget.
“It will be interesting for all of us to see for the first time,” Nurse said before the game.
Electrifying might have been a better adjective.
Embiid hit a 13-footer over Wembanyama 1:11 into the contest. The Spurs rookie responded impressively, with a pair of 3-pointers within 27 seconds of each other, and then finished an alley-oop dunk before heading to the bench with 6:27 left in the first due to two fouls.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich joked before the game that the Spurs’ plan against Embiid was to “hammer his (butt). I told Wemby to back him down over the rim and just throw him through the rim.”
But it was clear from the start that nothing was going to work. Embiid had 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting in the first quarter.
Embiid was impressed with Wembanyama.
“He’s great, man,” Embiid said. “He’s got everything, size, skill, got everything. Bright future. He’s already pretty good. Once he develops, he’s going to be a lot of problems for a lot of guys in this league.”
Embiid hopes it’s after he retires.
“Hopefully when I don’t have to guard him and I’m out of the league, hopefully he can break all these records,” he said.
