Joel Embiid took command in Philadelphia as he displayed yet another marvelous performance. He finished off with 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists for his team's win over the Rockets, 91-111. His amazing form continues as this was his 7th straight game with at least 30 points.
Philly came in a bit short-handed as Tyrese Maxey tested positive for Covid-19, white Seth Curry has been given some rest due to ankle issues. However, the team had everything they need in the face of Joel Embiid who has been playing on a whole new level these past weeks.

Andre Drummond dropped a double-double, 13 points and 10 rebounds, for just over 17 minutes of playing time. The rest on Philly's roster slightly disappointed with their performance as nobody could have gone past 13 points for the night.
The Houston Rockets was back in full strength for this meeting, but it seems that this won't be enough for them this season. Jalen Green and Christian Wood led their team with just 14 points on a 6-12 and 5-12 shooting respectively. Josh Cristopher ended up with 13 points on 30% FGM.

Jalen Green, however, had 7 turnovers which came in decisive for the outcome of the match long before its end. On top of that, the Rockets shot just 39% from the field which will rarely be enough for a victory.
