But Joel Embiid, currently on a scoring spree broke the record scoring 70 points against San Antonio Spurs at Wells Fargo Arena. With the 70-point performance, Embiid had 18 rebounds and five assists, to win the game for the home side. With this stat line, Joel Embiid became the only player to score 70 points with 15+ rebounds and at least five assists in NBA history. Interestingly Embiid achieved the feat on the same day legendary Kobe Bryant scored Lakers’ record 81 points against the Raptors in 2006. Playing against budding superstar Victor Wembanyama, Embiid was unstoppable from mid-range.
