Joel Embiid drops 70, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's 76ers record


PHILADELPHIA -- Joel Embiid  said it was "great" to be put in the same conversation as Wilt Chamberlain after he became the ninth player in NBA history to score 70 points in an NBA game and broke Chamberlain's franchise record of 68 points in the process.

"Obviously, Wilt accomplished ... everything [in] the history of this league, and basketball in general," Embiid said after his 70 points helped the Sixers beat the San Antonio Spurs 133-123 on Monday night. "So to be in the same conversation, that's pretty cool."

Embiid finished with 70 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, a line that has never happened in NBA history before Monday's game, according to ESPN's Stats & Information.

"It was just a great night," he said. "I had it going. I mentioned a few times, a lot of teammates are extremely unselfish and they just kept giving me the ball and I just finished it."

Embiid finished it over and over and over again, to the tune of going 24-for-41 from the field and 21-for-23 from the foul line, eventually reaching 70 points when he went coast-to-coast for a layup over multiple defenders with 1:41 remaining.

He also had a season high 18 rebounds, 5 assists, one steal, one block and just one turnover in 36 minutes. Read More
