Facing the magic of the bottom of the league and only 8 wins in the regular season, Embiid did not relent. He scored 20 points in the first quarter, 23 in the third quarter, and scored a brief appearance in the final quarter to score 50 points before resting. As a result, Embiid broke several records.

76ers coach Rivers said after the game that with the team's victory set, it was he who decided to let Embiid play again in the final quarter to score 50 points. Rivers has become accustomed to the dominance of the disciples on the pitch, but still praises: "Embiid is a combination of Olajuwon and Garnett, of course, he is another type of player. ”

"I just play my own style, show dominance, whether it's low or outside, and do what I'm supposed to do." Embiid said bluntly that under the constant impact of the team's absence, injuries and other factors, his burden on offense, defense, organization and other aspects is heavier, which does not matter, "To be a better leader, I like this thing." ”
