Joel Embiid showed why he is the league MVP. In a dominant performance against the San Antonio Spurs, Embiid dropped 70 points, breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s 76ers record of 68 points. The Sixers won 133-123.

“Obviously, Wilt accomplished … everything [in] the history of this league, and basketball in general,” Embiid said.

According to ESPN, Embiid added 18 rebounds and five assists. “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.”

Before the game, Embiid had the Internet laughing once he stood next to Victor Wembanyama for the first time. That height didn’t impact Embiid, but he added 33 points and seven rebounds.

You can see the highlights below.

Karl Anthony Towns Drops 62 in Loss, Coach Calls Out 'Immature Basketball'

Karl Anthony Towns dropped 62 points in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday Night (Jan. 22). In the postgame press conference, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch didn’t care about the 62 points, pointing out an “absolutely disgusting performance of defense and immature basketball.”

According to ESPN, Finch believes the Wolves stopped making the right play to feed the ball to Towns, who had a great start. Towns finished 21-for-35 from the floor and 10-for-15 from three but went cold in the fourth quarter with a 2-for-10 showing that landed him on the bench.

“I mean there’s lots of times when, just because you’ve scored two or three or four points in a row, or baskets in a row … you know 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,” Finch said.

Towns added, “Having a night like that on a loss doesn’t feel very good or historic.”

You can see KAT’s performance below. Up next for the Timberwolves is a road game against the Washington Wizards.
