Zach LaVine scored 42 points in 31 minutes a week ago in a Sacramento win. He shot 16 of 19 from the field and it was the second-most efficient 40-point game by a player in Kings history.

But what about this triple-double from Joel Embiid on Feb. 4? He scored 29 points, but had five turnovers, shot 12 of 23 from the field, 4 of 9 from the foul line, and the 76ers were outscored by 12 points in his 36 minutes.

Was that a good game?
