Daily News | Dominant scoring nights are becoming routine for Sixers’ Joel Embiid
on Nov. 13. Twenty-six points and five blocks came in the fourth quarter. Embiid also had four games of at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and five assists this season, the second most in the NBA.“I don’t know,” he said. “Just trying to dominate every single game, both offensively and defensively.
“I think I’m a better player than I was the last year or two. You can see with the stats and stuff. And I think, I just feel so much better. It just feels like the game has really slowed down.” Embiid is also averaging 9.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 blocks and 4.3 turnovers going into Sunday’s game. Last season, Embiid averaged 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks and 3.1 turnovers.
“I’ve seen everything on the basketball court as far as guys guarding me,” Embiid said. “But I’m not perfect. I still make a lot of mistakes. But that comes with the burden of trying to make things happen. I haven’t been able to take care of the ball the way that I want to. I got to do a better job of that.”
