Another night, another dominant, MVP-caliber performance from Joel Embiid. It unfortunately came in a losing effort as the Sixers fell to the Warriors Friday night in San Francisco.
It wasn’t from a lack of effort from Embiid. The star big man dropped 46 points on the defending champs to go along with nine rebounds and eight assists. He finished the game +13 ... in an eight-point loss.
As the MVP debate rages on — emphasis on rage for some folks — Draymond Green found himself in Embiid’s crosshairs. The former Defensive Player of the Year recently said that two-time MVP Nikola Jokic was the hardest player in the league to guard.
