Embiid played a career-high 49 minutes for the Sixers, finishing with 34 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Oklahoma City’s trio of stars finished with 24 or more points each. Although Westbrook struggled shooting the ball (10-33), he ended up putting a 27-point, 17-rebound, 15-assist triple-double (joining just three other players Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson in NBA history to match those numbers) stat line which is impressive in any context.
