The Philadelphia 76ers went undefeated this past week and while there were different reasons as to why the club won those games, one thing was a consistent aspect that was apart of each of the Sixers wins. Joel Embiid‘s dominance on the backboards was unbelievable in each of the team’s victories and has earned him the player of the week award.
In the buzzer beating win against the Brooklyn Nets, Joel Embiid wasn’t the hero that hit the game winner, but he was clearly a force the Net’s couldn’t stop. He dominated with 32 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, four turnovers and four fouls, while converting 11-19 field goal attempts, 0-3 3-point attempts and 10-12 free throw attempts.
