PHILADELPHIA -- After 76ers superstar Joel Embiid scored 42 points to lead them to a win Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center over the Atlanta Hawks, Embiid declared he was simply doing "whatever it takes" to lead his team to victories.
Little did anyone realize what Embiid had in store for an encore 24 hours later against the Utah Jazz.
Embiid had the performance of his career Sunday night, finishing with 59 points -- a career high -- to go along with 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks in 36 minutes to give the 76ers a 105-98 victory over the Jazz.
