The NBA played a total of 4 games today.
Embiid had 41 points and 20 rebounds, a record since the NBA merger and essentially ending the season's leading scorer; Morant's pre-playoff comeback to lead the Grizzlies on a sustained momentum.
Want to know what great stats the players have played in the game? Let's take a look at the NBA Red and Black List.
Special Red List: Embiid's 40+10 times set a record the scoring king basically settled
Embiid: 41 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 5 turnovers, 14-of-17, 2-of-2 three-pointers, 11-of-15 free throws, plus or minus +11 efficiency. It was Embiid's third 40+20 game of his career, and all three were won against the Pacers. Previously, we said that Embiid was bullying Miles Turner, but now the Pacers do not have Turner, and Embiid gets 40+20, which shows that this is not exactly Turner's pot. This game is Embiid's 13th 40+10 game of the season, the highest in NBA history since the merger. The previous record was 12 times, held by Westbrook in 2017 and Moses Malone in 1982, both of whom became MVP of the year.
Does this also mean that Embiid will also stand out in the fierce MVP competition this year and finally win the MVP title.
And with today's 41 points, Embiid has basically locked up the title of this season's leading scorer. If Embiid plays tomorrow and only gets 0 points, then Alphabet Brother needs to get 47 points to surpass Embiid; if Embiid doesn't play tomorrow, then Alphabet Brother needs to get 78 points to overtake Embiid.
Red list: No Splash Warriors have a dream to chase Morant's pre-playoff comeback
Pelicans 114-141 Grizzlies
Willie Hernangomez (New Orleans Pelicans): 15 points, 10 rebounds, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover, 5-of-11, 0-of-1 three-pointers, 5-of-7 free throws, plus-minus -17 efficiency. Although the Pelicans' main lineup today showed a crotch, Willie Hernangomez still showed his ability to play a role as soon as he appeared. Whether it was a score, rebound, or a frontcourt rebound, it was remarkable, and even gave four assists. Unfortunately, he can only play a substitute role in the Pelicans.
Morant (Memphis Grizzlies): 21 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block, 4 turnovers, 7-of-14, 2-of-3 three-pointers, 5-of-7 from the free throw line, plus or minus +18. Before the playoffs began, Morant made a comeback to help the Grizzlies continue their recent excellent form. With just 27 minutes to play, Morant is still that Morant. However, the Grizzlies have performed well this season, thanks in large part to their internal play, and the Grizzlies have become the first team in NBA history to lead the league in rebounds, steals and blocks in a single season.
Warriors 100-94 Spurs
Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors): 12 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 4 turnovers, 6-of-10, 1-of-3-pointer, +6-of-1 on three-point range, plus or minus efficiency value +6. Today's Warriors don't have Stephen Curry, no Klay Thompson, but with dreams, the Warriors' defense will always be trustworthy. Today's Warriors' defense, so that the Spurs only scored 94 points, has also become the key to winning.
Lonnie Walker (San Antonio Spurs): 24 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 0 turnovers, 8-of-15, 2-of-7 from three-point range, 6-of-6 from the free throw line, plus-minus -4 efficiency. The Spurs locked in a play-off spot early, and it didn't make much sense to improve the rankings, and the last few regular season games were right to train.
Kings 98-117 Clippers
David Mitchell (Sacramento Kings): 22 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists, 2 turnovers, 10-of-18, 3-of-3 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, plus-minus -20. The Kings' record this season is still not improving, and Mitchell's excellent performance is not known whether it can be extended to next season?
Paul George (Los Angeles Clippers): 23 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers, 8-of-14, 6-of-9 three-pointers, 1-of-2 from the free throw line, plus-minus +18. With Pepper missing most of the season and Leonard missing for the entire season, it's not easy for the Clippers to achieve such a record. Pepper is now the core of the Clippers' entire team, and the performance of the two rebounds and triple-doubles has also become the key to the Clippers' win.
Black List: 1 of 10 shooting rate did not wash away He dragged his feet in offensive efficiency
Lawndale (San Antonio Spurs): 6 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 0 turnovers, 1-of-10, 1-of-6 three-pointers, 3-of-4 from the free throw line, -8-plus-minus efficiency. The rebounding performance is not bad, but this shooting rate is really a drag.
