Joel Embiid vs Anthony Davis, difficult to do more alpha male as a duel, impossible to make the pickle in the sandwich as the two are forces of nature. Better then to settle on the side and enjoy the show, and tonight the star of the show was Cameroonian. Or French. Or American. Anyway, the star of the show played for the Sixers and wore No. 21.
Clash of the Titans home stats are right here
Two huge physical monsters.
Two MVP candidates, as long as their respective teams start winning a little more often.
Sixers vs Lakers, a game that smells like Wilt Chamberlain, and on the field the two interiors will have greatly honored their glorious elder. The first to stand out? Joel Embid. 20 points in the first quarter, yeah, the total you can’t reach in a game and for more than fifteen years, 20 points at 8/9 punctuated by a buzzer from the parking lot and in the corner, too easy this life, especially when Thomas Bryant is defending on you.

The following ? Oh, we could talk about the Sixers side of the contribution of De’Anthony Melton (31 points) or the poetry embodied by James Harden (28 points and 12 assists), we could also focus on the somewhat discreet match of LeBron James, while Russell Westbrook had activated the electric battery level (14/11/11/5) and the crack Austin Reaves is on the verge of officially becoming the Lakers’ third man. But the real central point of this match will obviously have been… the money time of regulation time, during which the Sixers let slip a lead that seemed comfortable, during which the magic of the Lakers suddenly started to work…

Anthony Davis had not failed to throw since the inauguration of Barack Obama approximately, too bad, and the Sixers will finally get their heads back in place during overtime by literally preventing the Lakers from scoring even a basket (only one success 30 seconds from the buzzer, when the game was over). Joel Embiid will complete his construction and James Harden will complete the yellow defense, 13-2 victory in overtime and 133-122 in the end.
38 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists at 14/19 for Jojo, 31 points and 12 rebounds at 9/13 shooting and 13/14 throwing for Antho. The explosions were heard all the way to Mâcon-Loché station, it was a fine duel, gentlemen.
